Red and Green Currents in Blue Bowl - a blue bowl filled with fresh red and green currents still attached to thier stems. The lime green stems create a beautiful contrast with the red and blue colors.
We have to pick the red currents the moment they turn red or the birds will eat them all. They are a rare treat for all of us since currents are rarely found at the local farm stands and stores. Red currents are so beautiful, nutritional and delicious.
