Ingredients
- Currants - 1.5 kg
- Water - 1.5 cups
- Sugar - 1.5 kg (6 cups)
- Baking soda for washing cans - 4 tsp.
Step cooking
- We first sort the currant and wash it in a container of water, peeling from small twigs, leaves, green or crushed berries. You can fill the berries with water and leave for some time, so that small debris floats up.
- Prepare cans and lids for rolling up. Wash each jar and lid with a new sponge for dishes and baking soda. The jar needs about 1 tsp. soda. Then the container must be thoroughly washed and rinsed several times so that there are no traces of soda on the glass.
- The washed cans are filled by 2/3 with steep boiling water, and after a minute we pour the boiling water in a circular motion so that the water scalds all the walls of the can. You can sterilize the jars in another way: wash each and warm in the microwave for 3 minutes.
- Pour lids washed with soda with boiling water in a pan or bowl and boil for 5 minutes.
- We start cooking jam: put on the fire an enameled bowl or enameled pan with a wide bottom and pour 1.5 cups of water into it.
- While stirring, pour 1.5 kg (6 cups) of sugar and boil the syrup. When the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup begins to boil, lay the black currant.
- Let the berries boil in syrup, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring and removing foam.
- We fill the jar with jam “on the shoulders”. Wipe the neck of the jar dry with a clean cotton cloth or gauze and twist the lid, holding a hot jar with a kitchen towel so as not to burn yourself.
- Jars do not need to be turned over; they are simply tidied up in a pantry or closet where jam can be stored all winter.
Did you know?So that when filling the jars, the hot jam does not get on your hands or on the table, place a flat plate next to the boiling jam, and a jar on it. And then pour the jam into the jar on the plate. With this method, both the table and hands will remain clean.
