Red Currant Jam

My mom and I were lucky enough to happen upon both RED and Black Currants at our local Veggie Store.  So we got to work figuring out what to make…JAM…of course! 

Stemming all 16 pints of RED currants took a bit of time but it is a relatively easy task and we made short order of it.

Using a great olde English recipe we made our jam.

I’ll post the recipe later…here is a picture of it cooking down.

With 16 pints of currants stemmed we were able to make Apricot Red Currant Jam, plain Red Currant Jam and some Jelly.
