Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 2 kg red currants, washed and stemmed
  • 1 kg brown rock sugar
  • 1 liter of schnapps (fruit brandy), 38-40%

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

made from red currants, with fruit brandy

Mash the currants with a fork, rock sugar, and fruit brandy into a 5-liter jar and seal. Shake well several times a week and let it stand in a room of your choice for about six to eight weeks. Then, using a rubber spoon, press the mixture through a kitchen sieve and bottle. The result is a slightly creamier, yet delicious “red currant liqueur” that maximizes the currant yield and is separated from the seeds and skin.
