Redcurrant is a small, translucent red berry that hangs in shiny strings. It tastes brightly tart with a juicy pop, and it holds its shape in quick cooks; common uses include jellies, glazes, compotes, and garnishes, and it’s sold on the stem fresh or frozen.\n\nNative to Europe and western Asia, it spread through northern Europe and became a staple in British, Scandinavian, and Central European kitchens. Commercial cultivation favors cool, humid climates, with harvests in early to mid-summer.
