Blackcurrant Liqueur

Because we use only fresh blackcurrants, the liqueur has an earthy incense like perfume and taste, and brings to mind summer days picking them. The flavour is very powerful, and will add interest and zing to dishes both sweet and savoury. The Blackcurrant Liqueur contains about a third of the sugar of 'Crème de Cassis', and it is therefore much sharper and less sickly than the French equivalent. It makes an excellent 'Kir' and many people use it for this.
