I love your blog!

I figured the tartness might be more tolerable with some meringue. It was really nice! <br /><br />check out my blog <br /><br />http://avecchantillysvp.wordpress.com/<br /><br />the recipe is not posted, but id be happy to send it to you if you feel up to giving currants another go..<br /><br />stephanieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151604121078232678.post-62230473615500320902008-08-13T16:58:00.000-07:002008-08-13T16:58:00.000-07:00I'm not a fan of red currents either.

I always volunteered to pick the cherries, raspberries or strawberries.... then I could pick AND eat! :-)<BR/><BR/>They sure are pretty though, that's for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151604121078232678.post-59181205226380006482008-08-05T10:19:00.000-07:002008-08-05T10:19:00.000-07:00Tisha & Mo-I LOVE blueberries too...they'r...Tisha & Mo-I LOVE blueberries too...they're not as pretty as red currants though-at least not to decorate with. <BR/><BR/>Leslie: Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Sandee: That's what I think too, an acquired taste. They weren't so bad this morning though in the muffins, so maybe I'm acquiring it?<BR/><BR/>Cherie: That is the recipe I was going to try-but I read a few reviews of it and decided against it. Have you actually made that recipe before? It sounds good, but people who've made it said it's not...I'm curious.<BR/><BR/>Julie: Thanks! It was good to see you too. I hope that your friends like the lime/coconut cupcakes as much as mine did. <BR/><BR/>Linda: You always say that about your taste buds...but when I make you things that aren't plain, you like them!

Then again, you probably have great taste buds and you don't like 'em either so perhaps mine aren't so bad after all!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151604121078232678.post-10127779714576224062008-08-04T21:01:00.000-07:002008-08-04T21:01:00.000-07:00Hi Lisa --It was great to see you on Thursday.

I already have the lime and coconut cupcakes lined up for a friend's visit. :)<BR/><BR/>I love currants... as they are. I think some things just work better alone. I feel the same way about kiwis, though many places put them on top of those fruit-topped custard tarts. (Hey, maybe the currants would work in one of those?) I just like the tartness as is. I've never had then in or with anything that improved on the eat-em-as-they-come solution.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks or all the great recipes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470289515000021386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151604121078232678.post-17497499054712635842008-08-04T15:55:00.000-07:002008-08-04T15:55:00.000-07:00I like currants but was at a loss about what to do...I like currants but was at a loss about what to do with all the currants I picked at my cousin's house. I sprinkle them in my morning yogurt. But this pie (can't find the recipe I used but this is close) is more like a cake with currant topping. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Red-Currant-Pie/Detail.aspx<BR/>It's photo-worthy, if nothing else!Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571151728182230399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4151604121078232678.post-6881659819306376892008-08-04T09:55:00.000-07:002008-08-04T09:55:00.000-07:00I don't like them either.
