Raspberry-currant Jam image

I often use currants instead of pectin in making jams. They add a lively tang and ensure the jam sets beautifully, especially since I use as little sugar as I can get away with. Use red currants and red raspberries together, or black currants with black raspberries.

Time 1h

Yield 5 250ml jars, 80 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups red currants or 4 cups black currants

6 cups red raspberries or 6 cups black raspberries

Steps:

  • Wash the currants and put them in a sauce pan with the water.

The jam turned out a little runny. I think I cooked it for too short a time.
