Julia &Taylor become French chefs
Coming over to France for the first time with their family, Julia from Chicago, aged 9 and Taylor from Memphis aged 7 arrived at the peak of the redcurrant season.
They wanted to be part of the whole process: the picking, then cleaning, sorting and sifting; then the cooking proper and most importantly the tasting. We like to make jams with the maximum of fruit and minimum of sugar: given the acidity of redcurrants, we needed a bit more sugar than usual but finally all agreed that it was sweet enough with 1kg of sugar for 3 kg of fruit, so 75% of fruit content.
Fortunately there was enough for a redcurrant coulis to be had over the ice cream for dessert.
