Redcurrant jam

Red currant is a tasty and healthy berry that grows in almost every garden and in every forest near rivers and streams. Red currant berries are sour, but have an excellent vitamin composition that saves from many diseases. For example, they normalize the digestion process and have an antioxidant effect. They are used to make compotes, dumplings, sauces and, of course, jam for the winter.

Redcurrant jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use frozen redcurrants. Thaw them completely before starting, and expect a slightly softer texture in the final jam due to the higher water content in frozen berries.
You can reduce the sugar, but keep in mind it acts as a preservative. A significant reduction might affect the jam's shelf life and texture. For every cup of sugar you omit, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to help with preservation.
Properly sealed in sterilized jars, this jam can last for up to one year in a cool, dark pantry. Once opened, refrigerate it and consume within one month.
Absolutely! Its thick consistency makes it an excellent filling for tarts, pastries, and layered cakes. Just be sure to let it cool completely before using it in baked goods to avoid sogginess.
If your jam hasn't thickened, you can continue simmering it a bit longer, but be careful not to overcook and darken it. Alternatively, a small pinch of pectin can help thicken it without affecting the flavour too much.
Yes, this redcurrant jam recipe is vegan as it only uses plant-based ingredients: redcurrants, sugar, and water.
Yes, you can double or even triple the recipe. Just be sure to use a large, heavy-bottomed pot to allow for proper evaporation and to prevent boiling over. You may need to add a few extra minutes of cooking time for larger batches.
