There are few unwanted bits by screening. Currants, I sit and pick by the hour on a dull day. Also the currant and gooseberry bushes are pruned carefully to have ten or twelve loaded individual straight stems. It is not possible to screen these berries. I don't suppose the commercial fruit juice producers are nearly as clean as the screening method. .Millymollymandy wrote:Ah but as already discussed Durgan, it depends what you want the berries for. If you want nice berries without all the manky bits then you have to do it by hand, which is what I do.
It's a much easier task than doing redcurrants, which turn to mush, and easier than blackcurrants as well.I just can't take the standing up for hours at a time which is exhausting!
