Redcurrant, Punnet

Fresh Redcurrants Punnet are a punnet of fresh redcurrants – the translucent, jewel-like British summer berry with a bright, clean acidity and a striking visual beauty. Redcurrants are tart rather than sweet and suit cooking more than fresh eating. As a result, they make outstanding jelly, sauce and tart toppings where their colour and sharpness shine. Furthermore, redcurrant jelly is the classic accompaniment for lamb and game and a British kitchen essential. In particular, the strings of translucent berries make one of the most beautiful of all natural garnishes for a summer dessert.

About Fresh Redcurrants Punnet

We source our fruit from specialist growers and importers across Britain, Europe and beyond. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, ripeness and provenance. As a result, the fruit we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise varieties with genuine character over commodity produce bred purely for shelf life and appearance. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or resilience in transit. However, they require more careful handling and a shorter supply chain. In particular, the finest fruit is always seasonal – it arrives at its peak and disappears just as quickly. Additionally, we work only with suppliers who understand this. A short supply chain from orchard or grove to your door makes all the difference. That is why Fresh Redcurrants Punnet from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Redcurrants Punnet From Us

Cooking and eating with genuinely fine fruit transforms everyday preparations. In contrast to commodity fruit, these varieties carry flavour, aroma and character that rewards both simple eating and careful cooking. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, quality fruit always speaks for itself. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you receive fruit at its prime. However, even the finest fruit needs a little attention. In particular, most fruit is best stored at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated only once it reaches the right stage. Moreover, cold storage suppresses both aroma and flavour. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you buy matters. That is why we choose these fruits so carefully.

How to Use Fresh Redcurrants Punnet

To get the very best from Fresh Redcurrants Punnet:

• Use the berries whole as a garnish for summer desserts, pavlovas and tarts where their beauty is most appreciated.
• Simmer with sugar and a little water for redcurrant jelly – the high pectin content gives a beautifully set result.
• Furthermore, fresh redcurrants make an outstanding sauce for lamb or venison – sharp, vibrant and deeply coloured.
• Additionally, combine with raspberries and summer berries in a classic summer pudding.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Redcurrants Punnet pairs beautifully with:

• Roast lamb, venison or game – redcurrant jelly and game is one of the great British pairings
• Good vanilla cream, meringue or creme fraiche for dessert preparations
• A glass of light Pinot Noir, a dry rose or a chilled Sancerre alongside
• Raspberries, strawberries or blackcurrants in a mixed summer berry preparation

Storage: Store at room temperature until fully ripe. Once ripe, refrigerate and use within a few days. However, cold storage suppresses aroma and flavour – always return to room temperature before eating. Furthermore, most fruit is best used as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered at the right stage of ripeness and ready to enjoy.

However you enjoy it, Fresh Redcurrants Punnet brings a depth of flavour and quality that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, the finest seasonal fruit is one of the great pleasures of the table.
