As a Brit I was brought up on black currant jam and many other forms of black currant even the famous cordial. I just want to correct you that the British dried currants are not black currants they are in fact grapes and often called Zante currants here. If you want to make the most of this summer's fruit then my blackcurrant jam recipe is the perfect place to start. An easy jam made with only three ingredients, the ideal recipe to start preserving with.
Instructions to make Blackcurrant Jam:
- Destalk and wash blackcurrants.
- Add them to a pan with 1 pint of water and simmer.
- Add the sugar to the pan and simmer gently until it is all dissolved. (Check on the back of a wooden spoon that there are no granules left before bringing to the boil.)
- Once sugar is dissolved bring to a rolling boil for 15 mins. Place your clean empty jars (not lids) on a tray in the oven to warm.
- Remove the pan from the heat and check if the jam's setting by pouring a small amount on a chilled plate; once cool push the jam with your finger and if it 'wrinkles' it is ready, if not boil again and re check. Once ready remove from heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. (When using less sugar the set may not be as obvious, so after 25 minutes its ready.)
- Remove heated jars from the oven. Add the jam right to the top. Add a wax circle and close the lid. Label and store.
- Enjoy.
