| I have what my Horticulture professor ID'ed as an alpine currant. It was a volunteer seedling that I found in a mixed woodland setting. Last year it started to set fruit. I tasted it and it was a bit tart. I'm wondering if I can use this to make jelly with. Anyone know for sure if Alpine currants are edible? |

| Yes, it is edible, but most consider it to be unpalatable. Sounds like the one you tasted was not bad if it was just tart, as so many tart berries make great jelly! |

| Thanks for the response. This years berries are nearly all gone. But next year I think I'll be setting some aside for jelly. |
