I did some trimming on my Black Currant and Gooseberry a couple days ago, instead of them going to waste I want to trade them. I am only looking for cold hardy varieties, like Salem Dark, Panevino, Malta Black, Lyndhurst White, Keddie, Gino Black, Danny's Delight, Takoma Violet, Calabrese Long, English Brown Turkey, Dark Portuguese, Blue Celeste, and any unknowns that are cold hardy..

Black Currents and Figs together make a very good jam ;)

I just use a normal fig jam recipe and if it says to use 5 pounds of fig, use 3 pounds of figs and 2 pounds of Black Currents. You can change the ratio to your taste. Jams are very adaptable.
