Currants. Didn't even know what they were. Turned out so good. A great memory. Then while visiting my parents, the kids and I would pick raspberries and cherries and then I'd make cases of jelly for the next year. I love looking at the finished jars.

If you are making a large batch of jelly or jam, you MUST use pectin - unless you have a few hours to spend in the kitchen. I don't use it with a small batch, but I definitely use it for a large.
