WHAT MAKES BLISSFULLY BLACKCURRANT SIROP WORTHY OF A delicious. PRODUCE AWARD?
This luscious purple elixir brings a vibrant zing to everything from sauces and dressings to drinks and desserts. It’s this versatility that won it top place in the Drinks category of the 2018 delicious. Produce Awards. Angharad makes each batch by hand, steeping tangy-tart blackcurrants in local cider vinegar for up to a week, then pressing them and bubbling up the aromatic liquid with a dash of sugar. The recipe is inspired by a tincture her Welsh grandmother used to make “for sore throats and things”, but the end result is far from medicinal – it has a fruity intensity and the perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
