RED CURRANT JELLY
A classic red currant jelly made from fresh currants. This came from my one of my mother's handwritten recipe cards. I do not know its origin, but know it probably dates back to the early 1940's.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine currants with 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fruit has broken down and released its juices, about 8 minutes. Mash the fruit mixture with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon. Strain through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible. You should have about 4 cups juice. Discard solids.
- Place a small plate in the freezer. Return juice to clean saucepan; add sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. When teaspoon of jelly placed on chilled plate ripples if pushed with your finger, it is ready.
- Remove jelly from heat, and skim off any foam from surface. Ladle jelly into sterilized canning jars; wipe rims with a dishtowel. Seal tightly.
- Meanwhile, bring a stockpot of water to a boil over high heat. Using tongs, carefully place filled jars in boiling water, letting them sit 10 minutes. Remove; let cool. If center of jar lids give when pushed with finger, jars have not sealed properly. Jelly in sealed jars will keep up to 1 year. After opening, jelly will keep up to 2 months in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Place the red currants in a heavy stock pot. Add just a little bit of water to the bottom of the pot - just enough to cover the bottom to prevent scorching. Cook the currants, stirring frequently, until they are soft and wilted.
- Run the berries and liquid through a food mill (this is optional if you wish to remove the seeds). Weigh how much of berry pulp you have and then weigh an equal amount of sugar. Place the berry pulp and the sugar back in the pot. Bring it to boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the sugar is dissolved. Continue to boil for another 5-10 minutes and then do a wrinkle test to check if the jelly has set. You do this by placing a plate in the freezer for several minutes, then spoon a tiny bit of jelly onto the chilled plate and wait a couple of minutes. Push against the jelly mixture with your finger. If it wrinkles when you push it the jelly is set and ready. If it doesn't let the jelly mixture boil for a few more minutes before testing it again.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars and wipe the rims clean before screwing on the lids. For long-term storage process in a water bath canner for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the jars and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours before removing the lid rings. Store in a dark, cool place where they will keep for at least 12 months.Alternatively you can skip the water bath process and let the jars cool completely after filling them and then store them in the fridge for up to several months.

Steps:
- Wash the fruit and place in a preserving pan (including stalks) with 400ml (14 fl oz) water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook very gently for 20 minutes or until the fruit is very soft. Squash the fruit with the back of a spoon to release as much juice as possible - then spoon into the jelly bag or lined sieve over a large bowl and allow the mixture to drip overnight. Do not be tempted to squeeze the fruit as this will result in a cloudy jelly.
- Measure the juice and the correct amount of sugar and place in a preserving pan. Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved, then boil rapidly for 2-3 minutes or until setting point is reached. Pour into hot sterilised jars and seal. Label when cold.

Steps:
- Place the currants into a cooking pot, add the water. Cook for 30 mins until red currants turn white. First on low heat, then increase and boil at the end.
- Strain the boiled currants. Make sure to squeeze the fruit left overs well so that all the juice comes out. Discard the fruit parts.
- Take the strained red currant water back to the heat and add all the sugar.
- Mix everything well. Cook your jelly on a low rolling boil and stir occasionally. The cooking and reducing so that the jelly forms, can take around 70-90 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and test the jelly by adding some of the hot jelly into an ice-cold plate. The jelly is ready if it's not running, if it's still running it will need more cooking and then repeat the test again. OR test with a candy thermometer. Setting temperature is 105 Celsius/220 Fahrenheit.
- Once finished cooked, pour the jelly into prepared clean sterilized jars.
- Add a few drops of rum into the lid (to kill further bacteria), close the jar with the jelly still hot and turn the jar upside down to create a vacuum. Leave the jelly to cool completely so that it turns from liquid to jelly.
- Store in a cool and dry place for up to 10 months. Store in the fridge once the jar has been opened. Makes about 5 jars.

REDCURRANT JELLY
The redcurrant season is short, just a few weeks in midsummer, so don't miss it. Redcurrants are rich in natural pectin and acid, making them a top-rate fruit for making jelly. Redcurrant jelly is a traditional accompaniment to roast lamb, as the acidity of the jelly balances the richness of the meat. It's also excellent with poultry, sausages and oily fish. A spoonful added to caramelised onions or the Sunday gravy works wonders. If you melt a little redcurrant jelly and brush it over a strawberry or raspberry tart, it will make the berries sparkle like rubies.

Steps:
- Lightly pick over the redcurrants, removing any leaves and fibrous stalks- no need to top and tail them or strip them off their stalks. Rinse them and put them in a large heavy-based pan with 500ml/18fl oz water. Cover and bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes until the currants are completely soft. Towards the end of the cooking time, press the currants with a potato masher or jam skimmer to break the skins and release the juice.
- Strain through a jelly bag suspended over a large bowl and leave to drip through for several hours or overnight. If you haven't a jelly bag and stand you can double strain the mixture: first through a sieve set over a bowl, then line the sieve with a piece of fine muslin and pass it through the sieve again.
- Place two saucers in the fridge to test for setting point.
- Measure the juice, put it into the cleaned pan and bring to simmering point. When the juice is simmering, for every 1 litre/1¾ pints juice, add 650g/1lb 7oz sugar, adding a third at a time. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Increase the heat to a fast boil for about 6 minutes until the jelly reaches setting point. You'll know when the jelly is nearly ready because the loose, light coloured bubbles on the surface will have all but disappeared, the mixture will thicken and the boil will be slower. Remove the pan from the heat - otherwise the jelly will continue to cook - and drop a little of the hot jelly onto a cold saucer. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then lightly push your finger through to see if it forms a light gel that holds its shape and doesn't just pool away. It should not be at all sticky. If the mixture remains runny, return the pan to the heat for a couple more minutes, then test again.
- Remove from the heat and let the mixture rest for several minutes. If a skin forms, carefully remove it using a slotted spoon or jam skimmer.
- Tip the mixture into a jug with a good pouring lip and carefully tap the jug on the work surface to knock out any air bubbles. Pour into the warm sterilised jars to fill to the brim and immediately seal with screwtop lids.
- Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to a year. Once opened keep in the fridge and use within 3 months.

- Wash the berries and place them in a pot. They should be still attached to the stems, don't bother removing those. Add the water, it should be enough to cover the bottom of the pot.
- Bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and are soft.
- Pass through a sieve (or use a food mill). Press the leftovers in the sieve gently with the back of a spoon to help release all the puree. Discard the stems and the seeds left in the sieve.

- Wash red currants. Remove leaves. There is no need to remove the stems (aka "ribs"); you can just leave them on. In fact, many feel that the stems provide added pectin for a good set.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, covered, stirring occasionally and mashing gently every now and then until you have a pulp -- about 20 to 30 minutes. (Note: mash by hand, don't use a blender, food processor or anything mechanical as that will damage the pectin.)

- Place the unstemmed redcurrants into a saucepan with water (1/2 cup per pound or 2 cups total for this recipe). Bring the fruit to a boil, mashing the fruit to encourage the redcurrants to release their juices. Simmer 1-2 minutes and turn off the heat.
- Pour the fruit pulp into a jelly bag (or cheesecloth-lined strainer) and allow the mixture to drip for several hours (or overnight). Squeezing the bag will result in a higher yield, but might affect the jelly clarity (it didn't affect mine, I squeezed).
