Is the Black Currant a relative of the Red Variety? I know a few berries
that share common names even though some of the variants will kill you!!

My all time favorite jelly for toast/meat topping is Red Currant jelly.
I have been slowly working on getting some established here along with
elderberries and raspberries. The only problem is that you have to STOP
the birds from beating you to the crop!
