Method of preparation of black currant with sugar for the winter "hot" method of harvesting

Only selected currants are suitable for harvesting berries in this way. We sort out the berries, remove the dry ones, with signs of spoilage, pick the berries from the branches.

We send the crop to a bowl of cold water, soak it. We change the water several times, remove the floating debris, at the end pour the berries into a colander, rinse with running water.

Rinse clean berries with boiling water, shake off the water.

Pour the berries into a bowl, add granulated sugar, mix.

Take a wooden potato crush and gently knead the berries.

When the currants let out the juice, transfer the berry puree to a stainless steel or enameled stewpan. If there are whole berries left, then they also need to be crushed.

We put the saucepan on the stove, quickly heat it up over high heat, until the currants with sugar begin to "puff" for the winter, you do not need to bring it to a boil. The mass must be stirred, otherwise it will burn.

Shake and shake the saucepan, drive the foam to the center, collect the foam with a spoon. The spoon should be clean, it is better to scald it with boiling water.

The cans are thoroughly washed with soda in warm water, rinsed and dried in an oven for 10 minutes (temperature 110 degrees Celsius).

We spread hot currants, grated with sugar, in dry warm jars, fill almost to the top. We cover the jars with paper or a clean towel, after cooling, we twist them with varnished lids.

We store the completely cooled blanks in a cool dry place. Due to the high content of vitamin C, canned currants are well preserved.

Whatever useful qualities are attributed to this marvelous berry, among other things, it is also very tasty. It is enough to take a slice of a fresh loaf, spread it with butter, and put a generous portion of black currant grated with sugar on top - I assure you, this is the tastiest and healthiest cake in the world.
