Ingredients
- 500 grams blackcurrants
- 250 milliliters apple juice (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons gelatin powder
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blackcurrants thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2
Place the clean blackcurrants in a medium-sized saucepan.
Step 3
Add the apple juice and lemon juice to the saucepan with the blackcurrants.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The blackcurrants should start to break down and release their juices.
Step 5
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top of the simmering mixture and stir continuously until the gelatin has completely dissolved, and the mixture starts to thicken. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the pan from the heat and let the jam cool slightly.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the jam to a clean glass jar or airtight container and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Refrigerate the blackcurrant jam for at least 2 hours or until fully set before serving.
Step 9
Store the jam in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.
