APPLE AND BLACK CURRANT FUDGE CRUMBLE
As soon as I'm off my diet, I'm going to make this. It's from Leith's Recipe of the Day in the Daily Mail. Notes from the recipe say: blackcurrants are high in vitamin C. And although they can be sharp, that edge is lost in the deliciousness of this crumble. Choose a dish so that the crumble mixture comes to the top, ensuring it browns in the oven. Leith's used 250g hard butter fudge, chopped into small pieces- Sainsbury's Taste the Difference hard butter fudge. The system wouldn't take this descripion.

Steps:
- Combine black-currant juice with lemon juice. Add sparkling cider. Divide between 2 glasses, and garnish each with a lemon peel.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your cider will taste. If possible, use organic apples and black currants.
- Choose the right apples: Some apples are better for cider than others. Look for apples that are juicy and have a good balance of sweetness and acidity. Some good choices include:
- Honeycrisp
- Braeburn
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Gala
- Don't over-boil the cider: Over-boiling the cider will make it taste harsh and bitter. Bring it to a simmer and then let it cool.
- Use a clean fermentation container: A clean fermentation container will help to prevent spoilage. Make sure to sterilize the container before using it.
- Monitor the fermentation process: The fermentation process should take about two weeks. Use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the cider. When the specific gravity reaches 1.000, the cider is ready to bottle.
Conclusion:
Apple and black currant cider is a delicious and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up fresh apples and black currants, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you're looking for a new and exciting cider recipe, give this one a try.
