They freeze well! So you could maybe freeze some for a nice winter pudding/cheese cake, naturally jelly is nice, so are syrup and home made wine using them but i like to use them for .... Chutney! They give such a gorgeous taste! Here's my favourite recipe (For chutney)
4 tomatoes
Their weight in redcurrants
1 medium onion (Chopped)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground ginger
175 ml malt vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon clear honey
Natural plain yoghurt
Sliced green chili
Wash tomatoes and fruits, place in heavy pan witrh the onion, add sugar, garam masala, ginger, vinegar, salt and honey, half cover pan with lid cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
Mash tomatoes and fruit with a fork to break them up, keep cooking on higher heat til chutney starts to thicken.
Put chutney in a bowl, cover, keep in fridge until needed (i put mine in jars) When needed, serve chilled, garnished with yoghurt, sliced chilli and mint leaves.
My husband loves it so much .... I always make enough to last him for the winter! he loves it with Indian food but also with a cheese sandwich/ham/beef sandwich etc.
Hope you enjoy it

Put some in a paper bowl with a nice doily and give to neighbours who do not have fruit in their garden
mix with vanilla ice cream, put on top of crunched-up sweet digestive biscuits and drizzle a little liqueur (Baileys perhaps) on top. consume while watching wimbledon.

I was going to give you a recipe for red currrant jelly, but you have probably got one!!
You could throw them at your neighbours.
