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.

That's it? No 'jam setting' sugar? I might try it with Pitangas.
I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the redcurrant bush/tree.

Hi Glen,

You can see a photo of my red currant bush here

Really Long Link (last [hoto on page)

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.
