Ingredients

4 pounds fresh red currants

1 cup water

7 cups white sugar

4 fluid ounces liquid fruit pectin

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Place the currants into a large pot and crush with a potato masher or berry crusher if you have one. Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Strain the fruit through a jelly cloth or cheese cloth and measure out 5 cups of the juice.

Step 2

Pour the juice into a large saucepan and stir in the sugar. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat and stir in the liquid pectin immediately. Return to a full rolling boil and allow to boil for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Remove from heat and skim off foam from the top. Ladle or pour into sterile 1/2 pint jars filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe the rims with a clean damp cloth. Cover with new sterile lids and rings. Process covered in a bath of simmering water for 10 minutes or the time recommended by your local extension for your area.
