Ingredients
- 500 g fresh blackcurrants
- 120 ml honey
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 60 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blackcurrants thoroughly under running water and remove any stems or leaves that may be attached.
Step 2
Place the blackcurrants, honey, lemon juice, and water into a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves evenly.
Step 4
Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Allow the mixture to cook for about 35-45 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher to break down the blackcurrants while leaving some texture.
Step 6
To test the jam's readiness, place a small spoonful on a cold plate and let it cool. Run a finger through the jam; if the surface wrinkles and stays in place, it's done.
Step 7
Once the jam reaches the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Transfer the jam to sterilized glass jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
Step 9
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The Paleo Blackcurrant Jam will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
