Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash the black currant berries removing any damaged berries, stems, leaves, etc. Set out on a kitchen towel to dry.
  2. Weigh the berries using a kitchen scale and then, grind the berries using a meat grinder.
  3. Add sugar to the ground berries, stir well and let mixture stand until the sugar dissolves (about 2-4 hours).
  4. Sterilize jars and lids by cooking them in hot water for 10 minutes. Let cool a bit.
  5. Transfer the finished jam into the jars, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
  6. Create a sugar seal by pouring about 1/4 inch layer of sugar into each jar and making sure it is evenly spread.
  7. Cover the jars with the lids and store in the refrigerator for up to a year.
  8. When opening a new jar, mix in the sugar seal into the jam and mix well. Serve as you normally would.

Notes

  • - The ratio of berries to sugar in this recipe is 1:1, so for every 1 pound of berries you will need 1 pound of sugar.
