Sun Belle is gearing up for an exciting red currant season, as optimal weather conditions have resulted in a major increase in production and large promotable volumes of this seasonal specialty fruit.
The first arrivals of red currants from Chile hit stores under the Sun Belle label (6-ounce clamshells) in mid-December and will be available through late February, in perfect timing for Christmas, New Years, and Valentine’s Day. Tart, with a hint of sweetness, red currants grow in bright shiny clusters, making them especially appealing for recipes and garnishes. The juicy, pearl-shaped berries are perfect on cheese and grazing boards, with game and poultry, and in salads, jellies, baked goods, desserts, and beverages.
