Step cooking

Delicious redcurrant berries jam can be prepared according to this step-by-step recipe with a photo:

Wash cans with soda well and sterilize to preserve jam for the winter. We sort the berries of red currant and carefully wash it. Let the berries dry, pour into a bowl and chop in mashed potatoes using a hand blender. If there is no blender, you can grind it in a meat grinder.
We filter the resulting berry mass through a metal sieve into the pan, helping with a spoon.
Strained berry syrup set to cook in a saucepan on fire. Add granulated sugar and mix well with a spoon.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes. At first the mass is liquid, but when the jam cools down, it becomes thick.
We pour the currant jam into the jars, not adding 5 mm to the edge, and roll up the lids. No need to turn over and cover the jars with blanks.
The cooled jars are removed in the cellar for storage.

Enjoy your meal!
