Red Currant Jelly
December 14th 2008 18:37
With our second batch of red currants from the brother-in-law I thought I would make some red currant jelly to have with our turkey on Christmas Day. I know that he won't eat any, but he is only one of 12 who will be joining us on the day - and majority rules!
Red Currant Jelly
500g red currants
2 1/4 cups sugar
Place currants and sugar into a non-reactive saucepan. Mash the berries against the side of the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to the boil and stir once so that the sugar dissolves. Boil hard for eight minutes.
Remove from heat and strain through a sieve and muslin.
Pour into a sterilised jar.
Serve with meats.

I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the redcurrant bush/tree.

You can see a photo of my red currant bush here

Unfortunately, mine aren't anywhere near as good as the brother-in-laws. I'll try and arrange a photo in the near future.
It is a very easy recipe - I suspect that there is enough pectin in the berries themselves to do the job.
