Preparation

Step 1

First, pour the currants into a colander and rinse thoroughly under running water. Wash store-bought berries especially thoroughly to remove dust and any other impurities.

Step 2

Place the berries in a saucepan, add water, and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the berries soften. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent the berries from burning.

Step 3

Remove the still-hot berry mixture from the stove and puree it using an immersion blender. If you don't have a blender, you can mash the mixture with a spoon or press it through a sieve.

Step 4

After the berries are crushed, pass them through a fine sieve to remove any remaining skins, seeds, and large particles. The remaining pulp can be used to make fruit drink or compote.

Step 5

Add sugar to the resulting puree and mix thoroughly. By the way, it's recommended to use a wooden spoon, not a metal one, when making jam. This is because iron is oxidized by the acids in the berries, while wood is not.

Step 6

Place the resulting puree over medium heat, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30-35 minutes. To test the jelly's readiness, you can drop a few drops onto a plate. The jelly is ready when the drop doesn't run and hardens after a couple of minutes.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into a mold. This can be a single glass mold, as in the photo, or small individual molds. It all depends on your capabilities and preferences.

Step 8

Place the mold in the refrigerator until completely cool (it's best to leave the marmalade in the refrigerator overnight). Remove the finished treat from the refrigerator and cut into small cubes.

Step 9

Carefully roll each piece in sugar and serve! Bon appétit.

Adviсe

The dessert can be prepared in various ways: without additives, with pectin, with gelatin, or with agar-agar. Using the last three ingredients will result in a more robust and durable treat.
If you decide to make marmalade with agar-agar instead of gelatin, keep in mind that you shouldn't roll it in sugar, as it will start to release juice and "melt."
To easily remove the finished marmalade from the mold, line it with cling film, grease it with odorless sunflower oil or sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Storage

Marmalade can be stored for quite a long time. Optimal storage conditions: temperature no higher than 18 degrees Celsius and humidity no more than 80%. Under these conditions, marmalade will stay fresh for several months in an airtight container. The first sign of spoilage is excessive stickiness and moisture.

To extend its shelf life, place it in the freezer. The key is airtight packaging to prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors.

Now you know how to make a delicious and healthy treat at home and treat your loved ones with marmalade made without artificial colors or flavors.
