Chocolate and Redcurrant Christmas Cupcakes


The sharpness of redcurrants and the richness from chocolate go beautifully together. I made chocolate cupcakes and added some redcurrants to the batter. After baking and cooling they were topped with my favourite cupcake chocolate fudge icing.

To make the frosted redcurrants all you have to do is whisk an egg very lightly and brush the fruit with the egg white, dip the fruit into sugar and leave to dry overnight on baking paper - frosted redcurrants are delicious.

Love the idea of putting frost on the redcurrants. Very Christmassy indeed!
Hope you have a lovely Christmas Maggie and best wishes for 2013 :-)
