Blackcurrant confiture

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the jam, prepare the necessary ingredients. Black currants can be used both fresh and frozen. Pick fresh years from twigs and leaves and rinse them from dirt. Frozen berries must be thawed. To do this, you can use a microwave oven. After defrosting, do not drain the juice from the berries. It is also used when cooking.

2. Step 2:

   

   Chop the black currant berries with an immersion blender. You can grind them to a homogeneous consistency - in puree. Then the finished product will be more like jam. And you can only slightly. I like to feel small pieces of berries.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add the required amount of sugar to the berry puree. Depending on the sweetness of the berries and your taste, the amount of sugar can be slightly changed in any direction. Put the pan on the fire and, while stirring, bring to a boil. Boil the berries for a minute.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a separate glass, dissolve the starch in cold water.

6. Step 5:

   

   With constant stirring, add starch water to the hot currant mass.

7. Step 6:

   

   Return the pan to the heat and bring it to a boil again. It is necessary to stir, otherwise the thickening confiture may burn. To avoid the taste of starch in the finished jam, boil everything together for 1-2 minutes. Due to starch, the mass will become thicker. The density can be adjusted by the amount of water. If you need a jam of a more liquid consistency, then when cooking, you can add a little water.

8. Step 7:

   

   Cool the confiture by closing the lid or film so that a crust does not form on the surface. and use it for its intended purpose. Keep in mind that when it cools down, it will become a little thicker. Such confiture can be closed for the winter in sterilized jars. Then wound in a cool place until winter. I use it as a layer for cakes or for serving with pancakes. Help yourself to health! It turns out very tasty.
