Redcurrant jelly jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make redcurrant jelly for the winter? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. There are only two of them: the red currant berries themselves and sugar. Pick the berries when they are completely red, juicy and full of juice.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sort the berries: remove twigs and leaves. Rinse them well in running water and place in a colander to drain all excess moisture from the berries.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour the washed berries into the pan in which they will be cooked and put on fire. Heat and stir constantly. Juice will begin to appear from the berries. To speed up this process, the berries can be mashed. Heat the berries with juice until hot.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then the berry mixture must be strained. This can be done in two ways. Rub the berries through a sieve or with gauze. Place the berry mixture in 2-3 layers of gauze. Gather the ends of the gauze into a knot and squeeze. The juice and pulp will come out, but the bones and skins will remain in the gauze. We don't need them.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour the resulting juice back into the pan. It turns out quite a lot.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add sugar, mix it with juice and put on fire. Heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. If foam appears on the surface, it must be removed.

7. STEP 7

   

   Prepare jars to seal the jelly. Wash them well and sterilize them in any convenient way. This can be done in the microwave, in the oven or over hot steam. Pour boiling water over the lids.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the hot currant mixture into sterile jars and roll up the lids. Turn them over to check for leaks. Wrap the jars in a warm blanket and leave to cool.

9. STEP 9

   

   Store the finished currant jelly in a cool place - in a cellar or basement. Enjoy your treat!
