Small Batch Red Currant Jam Recipe

When you only have a few cups of red currants on hand, this Small Batch Red Currant Jam recipe is ideal. The tart currant flavor is offset by the sweetness of the sugar and the acidity of the lemon juice. This jam goes great with toast or as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups red currants
• lemon juice, 2 tbsp

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 25 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes

Instructions

• Remove any stems and leaves from the red currants by washing and picking them.
• Combine the red currants, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a small saucepan.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes jam-like.
• Remove from the heat and set aside for 5-10 minutes to cool.
• Allow the jam to cool completely in a sterilized jar before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
