Blackcurrant and strawberry jam is a delicacy worthy of attention of a thrifty hostess. Black currants are healthy, strawberries are tasty and fragrant, and berries ripen almost at the same time, so they themselves ask to be in one pot. If the currants are sour, then the jam can turn out to be liquid, and, in my opinion, there is nothing worse, it is better to prepare fruit or berry syrup then. Gelling sugar helps to save the situation - jam, confiture or preserves are then thick.
There is another way, but not everyone likes it - berries and ordinary white fine sugar are measured not by weight, but by glasses - 1 glass of sugar is taken for 1 glass of berries. The jam prepared in this way is always very thick. My grandmother only cooked this way, but the amount of sugar used for cooking was intimidating to say the least. I remember from childhood how in the summer a hefty canvas bag full of granulated sugar appeared in the kitchen, like sacks of potatoes. By the end of the harvesting season, the bag was empty, and we ate it all! Say what you like, modern technologies can reduce the amount of sugar in the workpieces.
Ingredients for blackcurrant and strawberry jam
- 450 g black currant;
- 300 g of strawberries;
- 50 ml of water;
- 350 g granulated sugar;
- 0.7 kg of gelling sugar.
Method of making blackcurrant and strawberry jam
We sort out the currants, remove dried and spoiled berries, debris and twigs, soak for several minutes in cold water, put in a colander and rinse thoroughly with running water.
It is better not to wash ripe garden strawberries if there is no sand on the berries. In general, strawberries are so tender that it is better not to disturb them once more so that the berries remain whole.
Pour ordinary white sugar into a saucepan and pour a quarter of a glass of water, stir, put on fire, bring the syrup to a boil.
Pour the currants into the hot syrup, crush the berries with a crush so that they burst and the juice stands out.
Then gently pour out the garden strawberries, shake the pan to mix the ingredients.
Bring the mass to a boil over moderate heat, simmer for 12 minutes, shake the pan during boiling - drive the foam to the center, remove with a spoon.
At this stage, blackcurrant and strawberry jam will seem liquid to you, there will be a lot of syrup, and it should be so. Pour in the gelling sugar, mix gently, send the pan back to the stove.
After boiling, we boil for several minutes over high heat, the mass will foam strongly, so it should not be left unattended.
Remove the pan from the heat, cool a little, again drive the foam to the center, remove with a spoon.
Jars for black currant and strawberry jam are sterilized over steam or dried in an oven at a temperature of about 110 degrees Celsius. Pour hot jam into warm and dry jars, cover with a clean cloth. After cooling, screw it on with boiled lids.
A thick, aromatic and healthy delicacy can not only be served with hot tea. This blackcurrant and strawberry jam is perfect for a layer of sponge cake or for making cakes with filling.
Bon Appetit!
