Homemade Red Currant Jelly Recipe
Homemade Red Currant Jelly is a sweet and tart spread that goes well with toast, scones, and other baked goods. This recipe requires only three ingredients and is simple to prepare at home.
Ingredients
- 800 g sugar
- 500 mL of water
- 1 kg red currants
Time Needed
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
Instructions
- Remove any leaves and stems from the red currants.
- Bring the red currants and water to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the red currants for 15-20 minutes, or until they burst and release their juice.
- To remove the pulp and seeds, strain the red currant mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
- Return the juice to the saucepan after measuring it.
- Stir the sugar into the juice until it dissolves.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
- To see if the jelly has set, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate and leave it for a minute to cool.
- It is set if it wrinkles when pushed with your finger.
- Remove the jelly from the heat and use a spoon to remove any foam.
- Fill sterilized jars halfway with the jelly and allow to cool completely before sealing.
