Blackcurrant jelly

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 35 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook blackcurrant jelly? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. If the berries are fresh, sort them and wash them. Leave them in a colander for 10 minutes to drain excess water. Frozen berries must first be thawed; the juice from them will also go into the jelly. I used frozen currants. Choose potato starch for jelly. Corn is better suited for sauces.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour water into a saucepan and put it on fire. Bring the water to a boil.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the water is boiling, lightly mash the berries.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the washed berries in boiling water and cook for 1.5-2 minutes over moderate heat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Strain the future jelly through a fine sieve or through a clean cotton cloth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the strained liquid back into the pan and return to the heat. Add sugar, stir and taste. Add more sugar if necessary.

7. STEP 7

   

   Dissolve starch in 60 ml of cold water.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the diluted starch in a thin stream into the berry broth, stirring constantly.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bring the jelly to a boil and remove from heat. Jelly can be served either cold or hot. Bon appetit!

I really love jelly made from various fruits and berries, but my family does not share this love. Therefore, I cook it exclusively for myself) I cooked blackcurrant jelly based on 500 ml. water. To correct the numbers, I used the site’s calculator. My currants were frozen, so I first brought them to a boil and then mashed them with a masher. After that, I boiled it for a couple more minutes and strained through a fine sieve, squeezing out all the juice and berry puree well. Then I cooked it following the recipe. I was pleased with the result; I have never made jelly of such a rich color. In addition, the jelly is incredibly aromatic, it smells like summer) The consistency is average, drinking this jelly is easy and pleasant. The volume turned out to be two incomplete mugs. By the way, thanks to this recipe, my dad learned to cook jelly himself, which he needed for medical reasons. I'm happy with the result, I recommend making it.

Please tell me which starch is best suited for jelly, potato or corn, and in what proportions? Otherwise, I rarely work with starch. Thank you!
