- The first thing to do when making this jam is to sort through the currants and honeyberries. Use only ripe berries — but firm and whole ones. The two taste wonderful together, but they usually ripen at different times, so you'll likely need to freeze the honeyberries. There's no need to thaw them in advance; just take them out of the freezer right before you start. Put the honeyberries in a large enameled pot (stainless steel works too). Rinse the currants in a colander and let the water drain, then add them to the pot with the honeyberries. Pour the measured sugar over the berries, cover, and let them stand overnight (8–10 hours). If you can, stir the mixture gently with a wooden spatula a couple of times, though it's not essential. Overnight the berries will release plenty of juice. In the morning, set the pot over medium heat and, stirring, bring the berry mixture to a boil. Lower the heat to its lowest setting and cook the jam for 5 minutes, stirring now and then. Take the pot off the heat and let the jam cool completely, resting for 8 hours. Set the pot back over medium heat, bring to a boil, then cook over the lowest heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Prepare sterilized jars and lids — smaller jars are best. Ladle the still-boiling jam into the glass jars a little at a time, and seal tightly with the sterilized lids. Turn the jars upside down, wrap them in a blanket, and leave them for a day to cool slowly. When the time is up, the jam can be moved to long-term storage. The jam is ready!
