No. 3867 — Redcurrant Mors
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3867 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Prepare exactly as for blackcurrant mors in recipe No. 3858.
Because the author considers redcurrants less fragrant, a few fresh rose petals may be added. For 3 pounds sugar she suggests 3 loosely filled cups of rose petals.
