Ingredients
- 400 g fresh or frozen blackcurrants
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- If using fresh blackcurrants, rinse them under cold water and remove any stems.
- If using frozen blackcurrants, you can use them straight from the freezer.
- Add the blackcurrants, sugar, lemon juice and water to a pot, stir and bring to the boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from scorching.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer and bubble for 10 minutes. It will thicken further as it cools.
- Serve warm or allow to cool and store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to 5 days (or freeze for up to 2 months).
