Today we will prepare a winter treat from currants, from black, red and even white!
Jam from this berry is very tasty and healthy, and she herself is an invaluable storehouse of a huge amount of vitamins and microelements, and one of the richest sources of vitamin C. It is useful in the cold season, and for the digestive system, and just to support normal immunity.
The recipes offered today will not force you to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. But the cooked jam will allow you to stay at the family table with pleasure on long winter evenings with your beloved family.
And the cooking methods, I think, will not go unnoticed by any lover of this tasty berry who has looked at us today.
When cooking in this way, most of the vitamins and other nutrients will not have time to be lost during heat treatment. And you will get a tasty treat with useful properties.
It is not difficult to cook and very fast.
What you need:
- Black currant - 1 liter
- Sugar - 1 liter (this is about 800 - 850 gr)
- Citric acid - on the tip of a knife
- Water - 1.5 cups
Cooking:
1. It is imperative to sort and wash the berries well. In the meantime, the water drains, remove the "tails" from each of them.
2. Pour the required amount of water into the enameled kitchen basin, which we already have on the stove, and mix with sugar until the latter is completely dissolved.
When heating, try not to leave the stove and stir so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom.
It is better to take dishes for cooking sweet treats made of stainless steel or enameled. For these purposes, it is better to use the pelvis. It is more open and the evaporation surface will be much higher than in a pan. Due to this, more liquid is evaporated, and the treat turns out to be thicker.
3. When the syrup boils, carefully lower the already prepared berry into it, and wait for it to boil again. During this period, stir and cook for only five minutes.
4. At the end of the required time, you can add citric acid if desired and mix.
This is not a required ingredient, use it at your discretion. I do not always add it, because I think that the berries have enough of their sourness.
The foam that forms during boiling must be carefully removed. To do this, you can use a spoon with holes, and preferably a wooden spatula. Foam can be removed immediately in a vase and eat. Kids love this treat!
5. At the end of the cooking time, pour the jam into jars and close with pre-sterilized lids. Banks can also be used and can be taken in any size.
It is very convenient to pour the treat into jars of different formats - into small ones for serving with buns or just like that, and in a “larger” container for breeding morsik.
We let our delicacy cool and we can put it in the pantry. It is better to store containers with contents in a dark, cool place.
Blackcurrant and raspberry jam for freezing for the winter
An amazing dessert for the winter, fragrant and delicious! At the same time, all vitamins and a real fresh taste are preserved. All because we will not torment either the berry or ourselves with cooking, we will simply twist everything with sugar and freeze it.
Be sure to check out this recipe. It's actually as good as it is simple!
We will need:
- Black currant - 1 liter
- Raspberries - 1 liter
- Sugar - 0.5 liters (that is, approximately 400 - 450 gr)
Cooking:
1. Sort raspberries from bugs and spiders, leaves and other debris, do not wash. Twist in a meat grinder. I don’t advise you to do it in a blender, since it immediately shakes up the mixture, and we just need to grind it.
2. Be sure to wash the currants well, you can not remove the tails for this recipe - these are also vitamins.
But, if you are not a fan of such vitamins, then you can remove all the tails from the berries. And send the berries themselves after cleaning for twisting.
To make the look and taste of the jam more interesting, you can add whole currant berries without tails to the finished mixture. Not all, but for example, only a couple of handfuls.
4. Now, in a kitchen bowl, mix the twisted berries with sugar until it is completely dissolved. We give the opportunity to stand so that it disperses for sure. We pack in plastic molds, cover with lids and freeze in the freezer.
The added sugar will keep the treat from freezing. And it can be easily eaten with a spoon.
It is a great pleasure to discover such yummy in the winter. The berries are obtained as if they were just picked from the bush. It is also important that most of the vitamins and nutrients are preserved in such a preparation. Therefore, be sure to prepare such a delicacy. You will not regret it!!!

Redcurrant jam without boiling berries
I would like to preserve the necessary microelements and vitamins of super useful red currant as much as possible. And to maximize this effect, there is such a simple recipe, namely, harvesting berries for the winter without heat treatment, that is, without cooking.
The blog already has an article on how to cook from red currants. But there it is necessary to crush the berries first, and then rub them through a sieve to get rid of the seeds.
Today's recipe is simpler and faster, and will be made not in the form of jelly, but in the form of jam with seeds.
What you need:
- Red currant - 1 liter
- Sugar - 2 liters (approximately 1500 - 1600 gr)
Cooking:
1. We carefully sort through the whole berry, remove all small debris, cobwebs, tails, twigs.
Then we wash and send to a colander to glass the water. Then lay out our beauty on a layer of paper towels to get rid of the water.
It is important here not to leave water at all, since in this case we will not cook the berry.
2. We shift the berry into a glass or enameled bowl, cover it with sugar and crush it with a wooden pestle from a mortar or crusher.
3. Mnem carefully, do not relax!) We should get a liquid consistency without whole berries, while the sugar should completely dissolve.
To do this, after completing the work, we allow the sweet mixture to stand for two to three hours and stir it periodically.
4. Pour the resulting mass into jars, sterilized in advance. Pour a couple of tablespoons of sugar into each container on top of the jam. This will be a kind of “airbag” for us to prevent the raw jam from fermenting.
Now you can close the lid, processed in boiling water. Leave for six hours at room temperature, and then send to the cellar, or other cool place.
I usually keep this treat in the fridge.

Cover with lids and refrigerate for two days to thicken the mixture.
4. After a couple of days, put two tablespoons of sugar in each container on top of the ruby sweet so that the surface of the jam closes and close it with lids treated with boiling water.

We prepare the berries immediately before processing - remove the twigs and sepals. You don’t need to do this in advance, because after such a cleaning, the vitamins in the skin and pulp begin to quickly break down.
Beat our blackcurrant with a blender.
We take a colander, put three layers of gauze on top. We pass our currants through a sieve.
We wait until all the juice drains, squeeze the rest by hand.
Currant jam should be prepared in enameled, glassware or any other that is not prone to oxidation.
We get blackcurrant juice.
Add sugar.
We put our future jelly on the fire, slowly bring to a boil. We cook 5 minutes.
To check the readiness of jelly: you can drop jam on a cold dish and if the drop turns into jelly, then it is ready.
Pour hot jelly into jars, previously sterilized in the microwave, oven or steam. When the jam has cooled, close the lids. You don't need to flip jars.
Store in a cool, dark place.
Blackcurrant jam five-minute jelly is ready! 🙂
Bon appetit!

What is the best way to cook currant jam
The easiest way to cook currant jam is the best one. It was the five-minute cooking that our grandmothers subjected the berries to before laying out in jars. Just make sure that the jars and lids are clean and steamed, do not make a big fire and do not leave the stove for a long time - and a personal dessert for winter evenings is ready.
Which pot to cook in
Either enameled or stainless steel, since the currant berry is sour and can corrode soft metals, ruining the pan and the dessert itself.
The correct proportions of berries and sugar
- Liquid jam: 7 cups berries, 3 cups sugar, 5 cups water. If we count in kilograms, for every kilogram of berries, 1 kilogram of sugar and 1.5 cups of water;
- To make a spoon: 3 cups of sugar, 2 cups of water, 7 cups of currants. According to this recipe, the currant should give its juice, for this you need to fill it with sugar and wait a few hours. Or wipe / grind the berries and cook with constant stirring.
What is combined with currants in jam
Like any jam, any citrus fruits (with a moderate amount of sour species), gooseberries and raspberries will perfectly complement currant jam.
Season of currant jam- from the end of June to the beginning of August. By the end of the season, blackcurrants become cheap in stores, so it is at this time that it is recommended to start harvesting them.
