refreshingly fruity and sour

Bring the washed and trimmed berries, lemon balm, and vanilla pod to a boil with a little water, then boil vigorously for about 5-7 minutes. Then remove the vanilla pod and lemon balm and press everything vigorously through a sieve with a spoon. Finally, scrape off any pulp that clings to the outside of the sieve with the spoon and mix everything well with the currant juice. Add the gelling sugar, mix thoroughly, and let stand for half an hour. Stir everything again, then bring to a boil and boil briskly for about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared jars while still hot and seal immediately.
