Blackcurrants do NOT have to be trimmed prior to making jam, however, they DO have to be soaked overnight. If you do not soak them, they will be too tough, and make the jam inedible. The best way to prepare them is, after washing, add the currants to a saucepan of water. Place it on the stove, and turn it on High. Bring it to a rolling boil, the reduce the heat to Medium. Allow it to remain on Medium for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat, and cover it. Allow it to sit overnight, at room temperature, then follow your Jam Recipe.

I prefer to pick out the little stems and dried flower parts as much as possible before cooking. This can be a tedious job.

What was the last year Cadillac had wing tail lights?

Need a better definition on "wing" tail lights. In the late 40's through late 50's, the Cadillac had tail lights at the top back of the rear quarter panels. 1956 was the last of the tail lights at the very top of the quarter panel. 1950 through 56 tail lights were more like bubbles at the top of the tail fin. In 57 and 58, while models varied on tail light placement, the tail light lenses were more "aerodynamically" shaped with the car. In 1959, the tail light lenses took on a bullet shape, and while near the top of the quarter panel, they were not at the top of it. Throughout the 60's, while the tail lights remained in the "wing" they were not at the top of it. This remained the trend until about 1964, when the tail lights took up the entire up and down length of the quarter panel end. In some Caddys, this is still the trend. However, in Eldorados, Sevilles, and other models of Cadillac, the tail lights could be up and down, across the back, or even square (for example the 1976 through 1979 Seville).
