Black currant, grated with sugar for the winter, is harvested here every summer, since the black currant bushes in the country are generous in harvest every year.

Black currant is one of the healthiest berries, as you know. Of course, you won't eat a lot of it even in season. The berry is quite sour, although it depends on the variety. Berries of large varieties of black currant, sometimes resembling cherries in size and quite sweet, but still not so much that the collected buckets of berries are eaten fresh. And for the winter, stocking up with tasty vitamins does not bother anyone.

For the winter, we make an assorted compote from black currants, with red currants. It is so tasty that it is drunk very first at any feast. Children just adore him!

And the remains of black currants are used for delicious jam, as a rule, we just make black currants rubbed with sugar: it is tastier and healthier this way. Such jam is stored only in the refrigerator or in the cellar, otherwise it will turn sour.

Previously, in order for blackcurrant jam, ground with sugar, to be stored for a long time, we put quite a lot of sugar: in a 1: 2 ratio. But the jam was too sweet.

As a result, the "scientific poke method" reached the proportions of 1: 1.3 and 1: 1.4. The jam turns out to be sweet and sour and is normally stored in the refrigerator.

Recipe for black currant jam, grated with sugar:

Products:

• for 1 kg of black currant
• 1.3 - 1.4 kg sugar

The process is pretty straightforward.

Wash the black currant well, remove foliage and other greens, as well as the remnants of dried flowers. Go through. For jam, it is better to select larger berries - they are sweeter: less sugar will go away and black currant jam will be tastier!

Smaller black currant berries are best sent to "assorted" -. This compote always "leaves" faster, although it is also very tasty!

Then the berries must be weighed. It is necessary to weigh the sugar in the appropriate proportion of 1: 1.3 or 1: 1.4.

1. The main task is to chop the currant berries. You can do it the way you like:

Pass through a meat grinder, chop in portions in a chopper

or in a saucepan with a hand blender,

but you can even crush with a potato crush or a spoon! If there are few berries and nothing else is at hand.

2. When chopping berries, add sugar gradually. Those. and in the meat grinder and in the chopper and in the blender, we must put sugar before chopping and pour part of the pan with grated black currant

I don't put in the whole portion at once, but somewhere ½ -2/3 of all the sugar I need.

When the berries are all rubbed with most of the sugar, you need to mix everything well in a saucepan, cover with a lid and send to the refrigerator for a day.

The next day, mix everything well again, if the sugar has melted, add the rest of the portion, mix well with a spoon or blender,

and send it to the refrigerator

After a day we take out, mix well and send it to the refrigerator for another day.

Then you can lay out the grated black currant jam in the jars.

The jars must be clean, sterilized, but COLD, that is, after sterilization they must be cooled, otherwise the jam may ferment.

So, lay out the grated black currant with sugar in the jars under the neck. Pour 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar on top, it will serve as a barrier between the jam and the air.

Now the jars with jam can be closed with clean nylon lids or simply covered with thick paper and tied with twine.

We send for storage in a refrigerator or cellar.

Such jam made of grated black currant with sugar is great for any baking: it turns out tender, and you can also put it instead of cottage cheese as a filling for.

In cold winter it is a real pleasure to just eat such jam with tea! It hardens and becomes like jelly! Tasty and healthy!

Enjoy your meal!

Foreword

Not only very tasty, but also one of the most useful and easy-to-prepare supplies for the winter is currants, mashed with sugar. After all, this cold jam, unlike the traditional one, does not need to be cooked for a long time, that is, subjected to heat treatment, during which most of the vitamins are destroyed. Well, and who still likes boiled dessert more, so that it turns out to be more useful, we recommend making a five-minute jam, which is cooked for a minimum of time, due to which it has the maximum benefit.

How to sort out the berries, do I need to dry them?

As we have already noted, the main advantage of cooking red and black currants, mashed with sugar, and five-minute jam is the absence of prolonged heat treatment. However, this is also a serious drawback of these methods of harvesting berries, especially for long-term storage. The berry, grated with sugar, remains fresh. If the nuances of preparation and storage are not followed, the workpieces will quickly deteriorate. Therefore, adhere to all the rules and recommendations below.

Currant berries need to be sorted out and dried

First, we sort out the berries. This must be approached very responsibly. In no way should it be allowed that at least one rotten or crushed berry, as well as any debris, gets into the cooking jam. After all, if a "carrier" of microbes or bacteria gets into the blanks, they may soon deteriorate. Then we soak the selected berry for a short time. And then first I wash her and only after that we cut off all her tails (stalks). We also remove the twigs from the red currant.

Next, the currants should be dried. Particularly good for grinding with sugar. Ideally, it should be completely dry. Moisture in cold cooking is completely useless. It will contribute to the creation of a favorable environment for the life and development of microbes in the preparation. And this will affect the storage duration.

Then the berry must be chopped, grated. For a five-minute jam, it is usually left intact. The best, but also the most time-consuming way to grind currants is using a wooden spoon and a sieve. The resulting mass will be tender, since the skins and seeds of berries will not fall into it. We throw the currants into a sieve and three of them over an enamel dish with a wooden spoon. Easier and faster ways to grind the berries is to use a meat grinder or blender.

The easiest way to grind currants is with a blender.

Next, we prepare the jam (cold or five minutes) in an enamel bowl according to the selected recipe. Moreover, we make both black and red currants, mashed with sugar, according to the same recipes. Five-minute jam from these berries too. If necessary, you just need to take into account that red currants are sour than black, and accordingly adjust the amount of sugar offered in the recipe, up or down. In general, further preparation of cold jam consists in adding sugar to the grated berry, which is then thoroughly mixed with it.

Sugar in this form of preparation is not only a sweetener, but also a preservative. Therefore, do not forget that not only the taste, but also the storage duration of the jam depends on its quantity.

The recipes below provide approximate storage times and recommendations (depending on the amount of sugar used). Then we put the finished jam (cold or five minutes) in jars (preferably with a capacity of 0.5-1 l), which must be thoroughly washed, sterilized and then dried before that. Covers for closing must also be prepared in the same way. How to cork a berry grated with sugar and what to do next with it is described in the proposed recipes.

We pour the dessert for five minutes and immediately roll it up while still hot, just removed from the stove. And then, turning it upside down, we install it on a dense and preferably warm thing spread in any room on the floor, and wrap it up on top of the same. Then we transfer the five-minute cooled to room temperature to a place intended for long-term storage: a cellar, a basement or a refrigerator, if there is room in it. In the following recipes, cold jam and five minutes are prepared only from currants. But you can add another berry. It will also need to be carefully prepared (sorted out and washed), and if grinded, then together with currants. We leave the amount of sugar in the recipe the same, and then the amount of berries will be common.

The ratio of berries to sugar can be any. It is selected based on how sour the canned currants turned out to be, and according to your own preferences for the degree of sweetness of the jam. Below are 3 main, one might say basic, options for preparing a cold currant dessert, which practically cover the entire spectrum of tastes to sweet. They can always be corrected if necessary.

The ratio of berries to sugar can be any

The recipe is considered classic. You will need:

• berries - 1 kg;
• sugar - 1.2-1.5 kg.

Grind the prepared currant berries, and then add sugar. Then we mix everything thoroughly, after which we cover the currant-sugar mass with something and put it in the refrigerator for one day. During the time the jam is in the refrigerator, it will need to be thoroughly mixed 2-3 times. Why is this necessary? Within a day, the sugar will completely dissolve and will be mixed with the released juice, and will also saturate the grated berries. And this will allow later during storage to avoid fermentation.

Then we lay out the berries grated with sugar in prepared jars, and if we want this jam to stand longer, we must seal it with metal roll-up lids, and store it only in a place intended for long-term storage, including the refrigerator. In this case, the shelf life of a healthy dessert reaches 6 months or more.

Recipe with a 1: 2 ratio of currants to sugar. Healthy jam turns out to be sweet, for some it is cloying, but it is stored much longer. This recipe is great for harvesting fresh currants with sugar for the winter. You will need:

• berries - 1 kg;
• sugar - 2 kg.

Grind the prepared currants, add sugar to the grated berries. Then we mix everything thoroughly, after which we immediately lay out the currant-sugar mass in the jars. It is enough to seal them with tight-fitting plastic or metal screw lids, because this cold jam contains a lot of sugar. This healthy dessert won't ferment and can simply be stored in a cool, dark place. But if we want it to stand for a year or longer, then it is better to close it with roll-up lids and send it to be stored in the refrigerator, cellar, basement.

Recipe for invigorating sour and the healthiest cold currant jam with a minimum amount of sugar. You will need:

• berries - 1 kg;
• sugar - 0.2-0.5 kg.

Grind the prepared berries, and then fill them with almost all the sugar (leave a little). Then we mix everything thoroughly, after which we lay out the currant-sugar mass in plastic containers. Sprinkle the jam on top with the remaining sugar, close the lids that come with the containers, and put it in the freezer. There, grated currants will be stored for a very long time, but it is better to eat them within a year.

Jam "Pyatiminutka" from currant

Under the name, the five-minute will take not much longer than the preparation of the previous options from the grated berries. But you get a blank that at the same time does not differ much from cold jam in the amount of vitamins it contains, and from the traditional (long-boiled) jam in taste. For the simplest recipe you will need: berries - 1 kg; sugar - 1.5 kg; water - 2/3 cup.

Cooking jam for a five-minute period will take very little time

We heat water with sugar, stirring, until it boils. Then we throw berries into the resulting syrup. We heat everything until boiling and then cook for exactly 5 minutes. Stir the jam periodically throughout the cooking time. All is ready! We wish you good luck in your culinary arts!

Freezing currants with sugar for the winter is carried out in two ways: whole berries, barely frozen, are sprinkled with sweetener and in this form are completely cooled. The second method is to grind the berries and freeze them in small forms. In any case, a way to preserve the valuable properties of currants in the freezer is ideal.
