Our ancestors on Heritage Farm planted currant bushes. They are now in a grove of tall trees that have overgrown them. The bushes are nearly hidden from view. However, my daughter found a handful of ripe currants there yesterday. Though the currants are few, they provide us with a once-a-year treat, currant buns.
Today we baled hay, but this morning I started kuchen dough and folded in the currants. The dough rose nicely; just enough for me to shape the buns before 
my husband came in for lunch. My daughter had just enough time before she left for the field to bake the little delicacies.
The buns are such a treat! Yeast buns have a welcome aroma. The currants’ delightful orange color and tangy, tart flavor invite us to indulge on them. Sweet cream butter and honey give the final touches to this unique part of our diet.
It's Yummy!
If you get a chance to raise currants, I encourage you to use them to make excellent jelly and buns. Mmmm, Mmmm.
