Red currant jam in a bread maker

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make jam in a bread maker? Prepare the products according to the list. Choose a ripe, large currant. The berry, even when ripe, remains a little sour, unripe will not be suitable at all. Consider the size of your bread maker. The number of berries should not exceed the middle of the bowl. 500 grams was perfect for my model.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the currant well, putting it in a colander, under running water. Then leave it for a while in order for the water to drain. It is not necessary to dry the berries, as it will heat up in the bread maker. Then peel the berries from the twigs. You can do it just with your hands. Try using a life hack - to remove berries from twigs with a fork. Very convenient! In one movement, all the berries are removed. Also remove the excess garbage, if there is any.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the currants in a large bowl. Grind it with an immersion blender. You can also use a chopper or a meat grinder. Whether to remove the bones or not is a matter of taste. I cooked with them, they don't interfere with my jam. If this is critical, then wipe the mass through a sieve. Weigh the finished puree.

4. Step 4:

   

   Measure out the required amount of sugar. Calculate from the proportion of 2 kg of berries - 1.5 kg of sugar.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour the berry puree into the bread maker bowl. Add sugar.

7. Step 6:

   

   Mix the sugar well with the berries. Leave the mass for two hours.

   Then place the bowl in the bread maker. Select the appropriate mode. Start the device. What happens to the berries in the process. The mass is heated and mixed from time to time.

9. Step 8:

   

   After the allotted time - I have it for 55 minutes - there will be ready jam in the bowl. It is quite liquid when hot, but after cooling it will become thick, similar to jelly, since currants contain a lot of pectin - a gelling agent.

    You can pour the jam in hot form into dry clean jars, or you can decompose it cooled down. Such jam is stored in a cool place. Due to the large amount of acid and sugar, it does not spoil.
