Red Currant Crostini with Goat Cheese
Jump to recipe
When we bought our current house, there was a currant and a gooseberry bush on the edge of the garden, and these bushes are still there and producing a crop of berries every year. I never really used them for anything other than eating a few off the bush when I walked by. After 36 years, I thought it might be nice to do something with the currants, so I came up with this delicious recipe. Maybe I’ll figure out something for the gooseberries one of these days.
