Instructions
Step 1
Go through the red currant berries - remove twigs and stalks, rotten and unripe berries. Rinse in a colander. Separate the juice to make a delicious pitted and berry jelly. For this, you can apply different methods. For example, using a steam juicer. Or heat the currant berries over low heat with a little water, while they soften and quickly release juice. The main thing is to take as little water as possible, then the jelly will be tastier. The juice is also separated in the microwave. Soak the berries in it for a few minutes, and they will quickly settle and release juice.
Step 2
Squeeze the juice of the berries through cheesecloth, rub through a sieve or use another method. Fold the cheesecloth in 3-4 layers, put the softened berries and tie, then squeeze out the liquid with your hands or put under a press. If you are going to rub the berries through a sieve, crush them first with a wooden crush.
Step 3
For 1 kg of red currant juice, take 1 kg of granulated sugar. Mix and cook over low heat. As soon as the mass boils, remove the foam and cook the jelly in the way. Also boil the lids. Fill the jars with hot jelly and close the lids. Turn upside down and cover with something warm. Delicious currant jelly for the winter is ready!
