Where have the tinned blackcurrants gone?

Can't find them in any of the major supermarkets or local corner shops. A disaster if I can't provide the traditional blackcurrant and biscuit pie for the family Easter gathering.
Have you asked the retailers if any stores near you stock tinned blackcurrants ?
Any local famrmers markets local to you ?0 -
I had a similar problem when I was searching for blackcurrants a few months ago. I think they've all been taken to make Ribena
.
Would frozen blackcurrants be any good? If you have an Asda nearby, they sell a berry medley https://groceries.asda.com/product/fruit-smoothie-mixes/asda-frozen-for-freshness-berry-medley/910003052793 with 200g of blackcurrants that are quite easy to separate.0 -
Sainsburys sell them tinned https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/sainsburys-blackcurrants-in-juice-290g
If you can use frozen these look good https://www.amazon.co.uk/DArta-Greens-Frozen-Blackcurrants-5x1kg/dp/B07G5PBWSFI’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

Do you live in an Ocado delivery area? It lists Blackcurrant Pie Filling.

However, there would be a risk that you would spend over £40 plus delivery charge and then find it out of stock when your delivery is made.0
