Ingredients
- Currant (- 1.5 kg
- Sugar - 2.25 kg
Step cooking
- We wash the currants under running water, and then clean the stalks.
- Pour water into cans washed with soda and send in the microwave for 10 minutes for sterilization. And after we turn them over and put them on a towel. Lids for cans are put in a bucket with hot water and boil for 3-5 minutes on fire.
- We put a full kettle on the fire. When the water boils, pour water into the currant for no more than 30 seconds. You can put currants in a sieve and put in a bowl in it, so it will be more convenient to get it out of boiling water.
- Pour the currants into a large container, in which it will be convenient to beat the currants with a blender.
- Pour half the sugar - 1.125 kg - into a container with currants and mix thoroughly with a spatula so that the sugar is distributed throughout the currant.
- Add the second half of sugar to the container with the currant mass and again thoroughly mix with a spatula so that the sugar dissolves in the juice.
- Using a blender, beat the currant-sugar mass for about 5 minutes.
- A bowl in which currants will be filtered, doused with boiling water.
- Put the sieve in a sterilized bowl and pour the currant-sugar mass into it.
- Using a spoon or spatula, stir the mixture actively to speed up the straining process. In this case, any kitchen utensils: a spoon, spatula or something else that comes into contact with the currant mass, must first be scalded with boiling water. Otherwise, the jam may disappear due to microbes falling into it.
- The remaining gruel in the sieve can be used to make compote. To do this, it must be transferred to a saucepan, diluted with water (0.5-1 l), boiled, filtered, and you can drink.
- In pre-sterilized jars, pour the filtered jam.
The main point: the liquid should completely fill the container, touching the lid, which the jar will be closed. Air provokes the growth of bacteria and can lead to spoilage of the product. - We also close the jars with sterilized lids, and the jam without boiling is ready. It can be stored at room temperature in any cabinet for 1 to 3 years. After a couple of days, the liquid in the banks will thicken - this is a normal process
Important! You can mix any amount of currant, while its ratio with sugar should be 1 to 1.5
