We can’t resist blackcurrant jam smothered onto hot buttered crumpets, peeking out from under clotted cream on a scone, serving as an adhesive between two Victoria sponges… we could go on. You could make this <a href="/recipes/blackberry-jam">summer berry jam</a> with only blackcurrants (using 1.8kg and a splash of crème de cassis too), but teaming them with raspberries, redcurrants and strawberries works nicely. Just make sure you don’t drop a blob onto your favourite white summer outfit.</p>
<p><strong>Serve your blackcurrant jam in… </strong></p>

Fat-free sorbet is the summer cooler to top all others. This version has a rich and deep flavour, levelled out by fresh mint and sugar syrup. We have serving suggestions too – dollop a scoop into a glass of prosecco to create an instant frozen cocktail, or blend it into this smooth, creamy <a href="/recipes/bonny-lassi">lassi</a>, swapping the mango sorbet for blackcurrant, and the fresh fruit for a handful of berries, using milk to adjust the thickness and honey to add sweetness if required.

<p>If you like your booze with a sweet edge, try making your own flavoured liqueur. Our versatile fruit vodka recipe is easily adapted – just replace the 250g of cranberries with the same quantity of fresh blackcurrants. Leave the berries to impart their flavour for two weeks then crack open the bottle and enjoy a delicately infused shot of deliciousness. Try your hand at even more fruity flavour combinations with our guide on <a href="/howto/guide/how-make-flavoured-spirits">how to make flavoured spirits</a>.</p>

Berry and game seasons coincide, and if you’re lucky enough to pick up fresh grouse, cut through its rich flavour with a fruit-based sauce. This recipe means business. Roast the grouse simply and spruce it up with a whisky, beetroot and blackcurrant sauce – with a dash of crème de cassis for good measure.</p>

Compote couldn’t be easier to make, and it can be used on yogurt, swirled into ice cream, in cocktails, pies, desserts and so much more besides. This summery version can be whipped up in minutes. Freeze in individual portions – an ice cube tray is good for this – and use over a three month period. We recommend adding cinnamon to the mix too.</p>

Pile a mound of summer berries into a pan, top with an almond pastry lid and let the oven do the work. Soon the fruit will have broken down into a warm red sauce, ready to meld lovingly with cold vanilla ice cream.

<p>Make your own refreshing summer drink using a glut of blackcurrants. Combine this tart fruit with sugar and zingy lemon juice to make a simple syrup. Enjoy it chilled with still or sparkling water, or mix it into something a little stronger if you prefer! The cordial can be stored in the fridge for up to one month. We’ve also got plenty more fruity <a href="/recipes/collection/cordial-recipes">cordial recipes</a> to try.</p>
