Serving Currants. During the summer and fall there is nothing better for dessert than fresh fruit, served in its ordinary state, or with sugar, or frozen, or in jellies. A pretty way to DESSERT. 697 serve currants is to fill the centre of a large glass dish with broken ice, and tastefully arrange fresh currant leaves around the ice, making a handsome bed on which to place bunches of the fruit. Each person at the table should be provided with a little powdered sugar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
