Red currant jam is a sweet and tangy spread made primarily from fresh red currants, sugar, and sometimes water or pectin to achieve the ideal consistency. Native to Europe, red currants are small, vibrant berries rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and potassium, making the jam a popular ingredient in European cuisines for enhancing pastries, breakfast dishes, and sauces. While the berries themselves are nutrient-dense, the jam often contains added sugar, which increases the calorie content and may reduce health benefits if consumed in large quantities. Red currant jam is cherished for its bold flavor and versatility, offering a balance between natural fruit goodness and indulgent sweetness. Moderation is key to enjoying this vibrant preserve as part of a balanced diet.
