Blackcurrant Marmalade

Ingredients

1000 g blackcurrants

2.5 cups sugar

Water

First, sort and wash the berries thoroughly. Place them in a saucepan, add water, and simmer briefly until the currants are softened. Then, use a blender to puree the mixture and, if necessary, pass it through a sieve. You can do this without a blender, simply by pressing the mixture through a sieve.

After this process, mix the future blackcurrant marmalade with 2 cups sugar and simmer again. This syrup should thicken and reduce. This process is similar to making jam.

 To test if it's ready, pour a little currant juice onto a cold plate. If it doesn't spread, you can pour it into molds, or use one whole container. Once the currant marmalade has thickened, cut it into pieces. Just like store-bought marmalade, don't forget to sprinkle your homemade marmalade with sugar.

Enjoy!
