Ingredients
- 12.5 oz black currants 350 g
- 9 tablespoons agave syrup or another sweetener, more to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- a few tablespoons water
Instructions
- Clean and remove the stalks of the black currants.
- Crush: Place them in a large pot and add the agave syrup. Use a potato masher to crush the currants a little. You don't want a berry puree; mash the currants partially to obtain some juice while retaining most of them intact.
- Steep: Mix well and let stand for about an hour. The mixture will become juicier during this time.
- Cook: Bring everything to a boil and let cook for about 5 minutes while stirring from time to time.
- Thicken: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons cold water to obtain a paste. Slowly pour this mixture into the boiling jam while whisking continuously. Bring to a boil again and cook for one more minute.
- Freeze or refrigerate: Let cool, transfer into a clean jar, and refrigerate or freeze.
