Some housewives brew the so-called “black currant jam”, which allows you to store the finished product even at room temperature. But the classic currant jam is usually prepared from berries ground with sugar - it is in this form that the black currant retains all its beneficial properties, since it does not undergo any heat treatment.
You can cook jam with different inclusions of sugar: if it is stored in the refrigerator, berries and sugar are taken 1: 1, but for storage in the cellar sugar will need 2 times more, that is 1: 2.
Ingredients:
- black currants - 1 kg;
- sugar - 1 or 2 kg.

1. Currants need to be washed thoroughly, and then shed in a colander to glass all the water. If the berries are with leaves or twigs, they should be removed.

4. We put frayed berries in the refrigerator for the night, and in the morning we mix well with a spoon to dissolve all the grains of sugar. As a result, currants, ground with sugar, should acquire a uniform consistency.
