contains sugar

Preparation

  1. Serving size:
    0.74 oz (calculated)
    1 tbsp (by recipe creator)
  1. The recipe for 1.5 kg of red currants (96 servings) fills about 7 jam glasses for 210 ml.
  2. First clean the red currants. You can remove the currants from their stems by pulling them through a fork.
  3. Then blend the currants. If you prefer chunks in your jam, leave some of them whole.
  4. In a large pot mix the currants and the gelling sugar. If you added whole currants, marinate for at least half an hour. You can even marinate them overnight.
  5. Be sure to use a larger pot than you think necessary, as the hot jam will bubble and is scorching hot. The pot should definitely not be filled more than 2/3.
  6. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil for about 4 minutes. The jam should be bubbling throughout.
  7. Fill sterilized jam glasses with the still hot jam.
  8. Seal the glasses with the lids and turn them over before leaving to cool.
  9. You can sterilize jam glasses and lids by boiling them for 10 minutes in water. After removing them from the water do not dry them off, but fill them as is.
