Picking and preparing  black currants

We're using berries from Ribes aureum gracillimum - Golden Currant. Most of the other Goose Berries or Currants. will also work.

Wash them in cold water.

We don't use warm water because it would cause fruit to burst.

Dry them

Dry them off so they won't make the cookies soggy.

Fill each cookie with about a tablespoon of berries.

Serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or as is.

¾ teaspoon salt

Combine:

½ cup sugar

¾ cup softened butter

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix wet and dry ingredients

Press into tart tins (or make sugar cookies with a depression in the middle)

Bake for about 8 minutes at 375°

Allow to cool before adding fruit
