Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 750 g apples
  • 750 g currants, red
  • 500 g gelling sugar 3:1

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 5 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Pick the currants from the stems, wash them, and place them in a large saucepan with the peeled and finely diced apples. Stir in the gelling sugar. Bring everything to a boil while stirring, then puree with a hand blender. Then let it boil briskly for at least 3 minutes, stirring constantly. At the end of the cooking time, place a teaspoon of the hot jam on a plate and wait a moment. When the mixture is nice and firm and doesn’t run, fill them into prepared jars. Immediately seal them with lids. I made 6 large and 1 small jar of jam. Tip: Rinse the jars and lids with boiling water and let them drain on a fresh tea towel. Clean the rims of the jars with a paper towel before screwing the lids on.
