i think you can make a tea out of them as well. I did it once. The leaves have a strong musky flavor similar to the fruit. Forget if you have to dry the leaves or can use them fresh though.

Do you have any posts or pictures about your black currant processing and jam recipe? How do you get the stems out for 30 pints? Do you process the jars in a hot water bath?

if you dont have ice cream, mixing any jam into regular whipped cream is pretty good snack also, for those with a sweet tooth!
