CURRANT JELLY
This recipe, from Canadian Living, calls for a combination of red & white currants. Cultivated white currants are available at farmer's markets & specialty stores. Since I'm a lucky person with a red currant bush in my yard, I don't do the combo. The prep time includes the "dripping" time. Use this tart/sweet jelly on toast, glaze a pork roast OR check out the Zaar recipes that use it!

Steps:
- Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, crush currants in a large Dutch oven.
- Add water& bring to a boil, stirring occasionally; reduce heat, cover& simmer until currents are softened& deflated, about 10 minutes.
- Wet a jelly bag (I use cheesecloth), wring out& suspend on a frame over a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Fill with currants& liquid; let drip, pressing bag lightly, until juice measures 6 1/2 cups, about 2 1/2 hours.

- Add sugar, bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constsntly with a wooden spoon; Boil vigorously, stirring, for a minute.
- Remove from heat, skim off foam& pour into hot canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.
- Wipe rims (if necessary), cover with prepared lids& screw on bands fingertip tight.

[email protected]This is a great recipe for currant jelly. I've made it a few times now and it always turns out well. The jelly is tart and flavorful, and it's perfect for spreading on toast or crackers. I also like to use it as a filling for thumbprint cookies. ⭐️⭐️
