Method

Put the redcurrants and caster sugar in a small pan, then simmer over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until tender and juicy. Stir in the cordial, then leave to cool.
Gently fold three-quarters of the redcurrants through the custard, then spoon into serving dishes. Spoon over the remaining redcurrants, then serve with the biscuits on the side.
