FAQs about red currants
While red currants aren't common in the United States, you can typically find them at farmers' markets or specialty stores. You may be able to locate them at a farm that allows you to pick red currants. You can sometimes purchase them in the frozen section of major grocery stores.
If you want to keep your red currants fresh as long as possible, store them in the refrigerator with a loose covering. They should last about 3 days stored this way. Wash your red currants when you're ready to eat them. If you wash them sooner, the moisture can make them spoil faster.
If you aren't able to finish all of your red currants within 3 days, you can also freeze them. Place your red currants on a baking sheet in a single layer and place them in the freezer. Once they're frozen, transfer them to freezer bags or freezer-safe airtight containers. They'll stay ready to use for up to 6 months in the freezer.
While both can be eaten straight off the bush and make excellent jams or jellies, gooseberries tend to be larger and sweeten the longer they ripen. Red currants can be white, pink, red, or black, but gooseberries are usually red, green, or black. If you're looking for the shrubs that produce them, gooseberry bushes have thorns while red currant bushes don't.
