Fruits and are the most popular among housewives. They are easy to prepare and store... Moreover, such preparations for the winter retain more nutrients than jams that take a long time to cook on the stove. So currants in their own juice are an excellent choice for those who love the taste and aroma of this healthy berry!

Ingredients:

• black currants – liter jar
• sugar – 1 glass

• No water is needed to prepare this preserve.

• Instead of black currants, you can use red or yellow ones: they will need the same amount of sugar.

Currants in their own juice preparation method:

1. Sort the currants - remove the green tails and leaves from each berry, if any. Rinse the berries well in a bowl, filling it with water several times and then straining the liquid through a colander.

Place the currants on a flat surface covered with a cotton cloth. The berries should dry completely on it, so it is better to lay the currants in one layer. It will take several hours for the berries to dry, so you can leave the berries on the cloth overnight.

2. Sterilize jars prepared for preservation. To do this, turn them upside down, place them in a pan of water, place screw caps next to them and boil for 10 minutes. To prepare the specified amount of currants, you will need three 300 ml jars, and one of them will only be auxiliary.

So, place one layer of sugar in three hot jars (cover the bottom of the jars with it).

3. Then place one layer of currants in the jars and immediately sprinkle them with sugar.

4. Fill the jars to the top in this way (you can even fill them with a slide), and sprinkle the rest of the sugar on top.

5. Line the bottom of a wide pan with a cotton kitchen towel to prevent the jars from hitting the metal bottom during cooking. Place all three jars of currants on a towel, cover them with lids (if you have arranged the berries in a heap, then cover the jars with the lids a little later, when the berries have squatted) and fill them with water up to the shoulders.

6. Boil the jars in a saucepan for 10 minutes, then remove them and seal the lids. Most often, the currants shrink too much during the heat treatment, so the berries from the third jar can be divided into two others.

Turn the hot jars upside down, listen carefully to see if they “squeak”, and then leave them on the table under a towel until they cool completely.

The currants are ready for the winter! How nice it will be to take out one of these jars on cold winter evenings and treat yourself to something sweet!

Good luck with your winter preparations!

Black currant is considered one of the healthiest berries, including due to the high content of ascorbic acid in its composition. Vitamin C reacts poorly to exposure to high temperatures. When the berries are boiled, it is destroyed. Preparations whose preparation technology does not involve boiling the fruit are much more useful. These include black currants in their own juice, which even a novice housewife can prepare for the winter.

Cooking features

The process of preparing blackcurrants in their own juice has certain specifics and requires quite a lot of time, but it is not complicated. Even an inexperienced cook can successfully cope with the task if he knows and takes into account several points.

• Black currants must be thoroughly washed before cooking; this can be done in several waters, but it is advisable not to do this under a strong stream of water. Although currants are not a fragile berry, careless handling can lead to premature damage to the fruit and loss of some of the juice.
• After the currants are washed, you need to remove the branches from the berries and dry the fruits by pouring them onto a towel. If tap water gets into the product, it will make its taste less pleasant and will negatively affect the preservation of canned food.
• To prepare blackcurrants in their own juice, you can use only cleanly washed and sterilized jars. They are closed with metal lids to ensure tightness. Plastic lids are not suitable for this purpose. The lids also need to be sterilized; to do this, they are usually boiled for 5–10 minutes.
• The technology for preparing blackcurrants in their own juice is based on the release of juice by the berries when they are heated for a long time. Currants are sterilized in jars by placing them in a pan filled with water. You need to place a towel or silicone mat in the pan to prevent the jars from breaking. Heat the water in the pan over low heat. The water level should reach the hangers of the cans.

Black currants in their own juice can be prepared according to several recipes, including without added sugar. Sugar-free canned food is healthier and less caloric; it can be eaten by people suffering from diabetes. There is only one drawback to such preparations - they can only be stored in the refrigerator and for no more than 6 months. Canned food prepared with added sugar is stored in a cool place and does not spoil for at least 12 months.
