Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make jam from black currant? For this homemade preparation, we will need only three ingredients, including water. I recommend using filtered or bottled water (if you plan to add it)
Step 2:
Prepare the black currant for use: sort, rinse the berries, let the water drain. Crush the berries with a pusher or pass through a combine / blender / meat grinder. Although only in the first three cases her bones will be crushed.
Step 3:
Stir in the crushed currant sugar.
Step 4:
Sugar and berries are better mixed in parts - so sugar dissolves faster.
Step 5:
Put the berry mass in a cooking pot - copper basins used to be used, now glass pots with low sides are successfully suitable. Add a little water and bring to a boil. Cook for literally 3 minutes and turn off the stove - on the electric jam will come by itself. You can do without cooking - stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Arrange in jars and store in the refrigerator.
Step 6:
That's it! Fresh fragrant currant jam is ready for winter! Pack it in clean, dry jars and seal it with lids. It is not necessary to sterilize, sterilized cans can be rolled up and kept in a cellar or a dark closet.
Black currant jam for winter is a wonderful healthy treat. Black currant is a storehouse of vitamins, so try not to subject it to prolonged heat treatment and, if possible, do without it. You can, for example, freeze a berry - according to research, it accumulates four times more vitamin C in frozen form than in fresh.
Important addition: if your black currant is juicy by itself, it is better not to add water, its juice will be quite enough. With the addition of water, the jam will turn out more liquid.
