I think we’ve had this discussion before about currants vs gooseberry and how currants were banned in the US (no longer federally but still by states)!
The berries in this photoset are Ribes uva-crispa, and are a member of the currant family, but I know them as gooseberry. I am also growing Ribes rubrum (red currant) and white currants which are actually a cultivar of Ribes rubrum . I posted a photo of the white currants in the VHC discord last night. Not brave enough to post it here as I expect all sorts of vulgar comments lol.
I have another currant plant, Ribes alpinum, which is not grown for its fruit and is more ornamental.
I hope I’m not coming off as rigid about naming! I think plant classification an naming (both common names and Latin names/taxonomy) is so fascinating. It’s all arbitrary and made up 😂
Those currants looks so good, I only ever had dried ones
