- freshly picked ripe berries (red currant) - about 3 kg;

Well, enough words, it's time to get to the point, and prepare a tasty preparation for the winter.
A simple recipe for making red currant jelly
We will need:
- red currant - 1 kg
- sugar - 1.5 kg
The number of ingredients is given per 1 kg of currant. If you want to make more jelly, then add more sugar, but following this proportion.
If you put less sugar, it will be sour. In addition, there is a possibility that the berry can ferment. And most importantly, instead of the declared dish you can get a thick currant juice.
We also need a mixer, a sieve, a saucepan, a large bowl, a colander, a tablespoon, sterilized jars with screw caps.
Cookware should not be aluminum. Currant contains a large amount of various natural acids, and in interaction with such dishes its useful properties are lost.
Cooking:
1. First, red currants should be thoroughly washed. During its collection in the bucket gets a lot of leaves, sticks and it is unclear what kind of garbage from the bush.
My way. In a bowl, pour a small portion of currants, and pour water. All the rubbish begins to float up. The whole berry stays down. Under running water all the garbage is drained with water. Thus we remove large debris.
2. Then put the berry in a colander, and rinse under running water, gently moving the berry, while maintaining its integrity. We do not want the juice to flow out of the berries. After all, it is from him and the pulp of the fruit turns out delicious jelly.
3. Now the berries should be dried. For this, I lay them on a large towel. Water flows from them there and they dry quickly.
4. Now also partly lay currants in the mixer bowl. Scroll it at low speed. If you turn on too much speed, the currant turns white a little. Therefore, to get a product of bright beautiful color, roll it at low speed.
You can also squeeze currants through cheesecloth. So it even turns out a little faster.
5. If you still use the mixer, then after this procedure, we will grind the currants through a sieve. We put the sieve into a saucepan of a convenient volume, transfer currant from the mixer bowl to it, and begin to grind it with a spoon. If there is a wooden spoon, it is best to use it.
6. We grind to such a state that only bones and peels remain in the sieve. All the pulp and juice flows into the pan.
7. We remove the bones and peel, and lay out in a sieve a new batch. Thus, we grind the whole berry.
When you pour out the bones, gently brush the flesh into the pan, using a spoon, on the back of the sieve. And then it will drip on the table, or worse - on the floor.
8. When rubbed the whole berry, pour it with the right amount of granulated sugar and mix.
9. Leave at room temperature for 24 hours. During this time, it will be necessary to mix the mass 3-4 times, so that the sugar is completely dissolved and the currant and sugar become a jelly-like appearance.
10. During these 24 hours, take time to wash and sterilize the jars and lids. Wash them with soda or a cleaning agent. You can sterilize in any way.
Either with steam, using a colander and saucepans, or in the oven, or just pour 1/3 of a can of boiling water and cover with water beforehand with lids for 10 minutes. Hold for 5-10 minutes, then twist the jar of hot water from side to side to douse the entire surface of the jar with it. Then drain the water, and turn the jar and put on a towel to glass the water.
If you scald cans with boiling water, then, so that the bank does not burst, you can use this method.
Put a tablespoon in a jar, and pour boiling water not into a jar, but into a spoon. Gradually pour the right amount of water. Do this not quickly, and then the bank will remain safe and sound.
11. After 24 hours, mix the contents again and transfer to sterilized and dried jars. Tighten the cap.
Covers better to use new. If the cover is old, and even more so if it has scratches, then it is better to refuse this. When interacting with such a surface, the acid contained in the berries will continue to corrode the scratch and all the consequences of this reaction will be in our workpiece. And we can not allow this in any way!
After all, we want to get a natural wholesome product in which all the useful vitamins and trace elements are fully preserved. And there are a lot of them in red currants.
12. Such a red currant billet is recommended to be stored in the refrigerator. Still, it is a fresh berry, and it is in the refrigerator that it is likely to preserve all its useful substances.
As you can see, the recipe is quite simple. Most of the time required to wash the berry and grind. The rest of the time she stands, and prepares almost independently.
And in conclusion, I want to say that the finished product for this recipe is very tasty and useful. Cook and try it for sure!
We reviewed the recipe where the currant is not subjected to any heat treatment. But there is another recipe where currants can be cooked, and also get a tasty result.
Jelly - five minutes
We will need:
- red currant - 1 kg
- sugar 1-1.3 kg
Cooking:
This method is very similar to the first, except that we cook currants here. Therefore, I will not describe all the steps in such detail. You can see them in detail in the first recipe.
1. Wash currants and dry.
2. Scroll it in the bowl of the blender.
3. Grind through a sieve.
4. Add sugar. Since the currant is subjected to heat treatment, the sugar can be added less than in the first recipe. First add 1 kg of sugar, in the process of cooking, try, if the taste seems sour to you, add more to your liking.
5. Put on a slow fire. Boil.
6. Carefully remove the foam. If you leave it, then the product can ferment.
7. After boiling, cook for 5 minutes.
8. Then turn off the heat, and cover the jam with a lid and leave for 12 hours until it cools completely.
9. Then put on the fire again, bring to a boil, stirring and removing the foam. After boiling, cook for another 5 minutes.
10. Immediately pour into sterilized jars to the top. And close the screw caps.
11. It is better to store in the refrigerator, but it is possible in a cold place, for example, in the basement, or in a “Khrushchev’s” refrigerator, who still has such a rarity. My mother stores in such a refrigerator and, and lingonberries, ground with sugar and other jams. Everything is stored there perfectly.
When you pour the jam into jars in a hot state, it will be liquid. Then, when it cools, it thickens. And even more thickened, when it stands in the cold.
This jelly will be different in color from the first option. There it turns out bright, saturated color. And here the color is thicker, darker. But no less beautiful.
When is it better to use the second recipe?
Usually I try to harvest berries fresh. But if I do not have time for one reason or another to process the whole berry, and it lies with me for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, then I will cook this berry better. Boil need, if the berry is no longer whole, slightly bursting. If you cook this berry without cooking, then it can ferment. And if you cook it twice for 5 minutes, then it will definitely continue, and will delight us all winter.
Choose one of the ways and stock up on red currants for the winter. And this tasty and healthy berry will give you many pleasant minutes in the winter. Save for you a piece of warm summer and sunshine!
