Redcurrant jelly

Cookinero 27 Feb 2025

Homemade redcurrant jelly is a very tasty and healthy dessert. Even without gelatin, it turns out very thick, as currants contain a lot of pectin. It allows you to do without additional thickeners. To prepare red jelly, you will need fresh currants. The finished jelly is placed in sterile jars and stored in the refrigerator. This is an excellent preparation for the winter.
