So these are growing in the yard of my new home beside some beatroot and Potentilla indica. Can anyone confirm that they are edible currants and if so, when is the right time to pick them. They are currently red. Should I wait for them to turn black/purple?

Thanks friends

    Look like redcurrants to me. I’d wait until they’re a bit of a deeper red. Give them a pinch – they should feel a bit softer once they’re ripe. Redcurrant jelly goes well with poultry/game.
