Early-ripening, heavy-cropping redcurrant. Bright, jewel-like berries. Excellent for sauces and jellies.
Flavour
Jonkheer van Tets offers a sharp, tangy flavour with a subtle sweetness, making the berries refreshingly vibrant on the palate.
In the kitchen
Ideal for making vibrant sauces and jellies that complement smoky meats; the berries can also be lightly grilled to enhance their natural sweetness and add a subtle caramelised note.
Growing
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with good moisture retention and full sun to partial shade; this variety is vigorous and heavy cropping but benefits from regular pruning to maintain airflow and reduce disease risk.
