Ingredients
- Redcurrant juice - 1 l
- Sugar - 0.5 kg
- Apple cider vinegar 5% - 100 ml
- Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp.
- Ground black pepper - 0.5 tsp.
- Salt - 0.5 tsp.
Step cooking
- Wash the berries thoroughly under running water and squeeze the juice out of them using a juicer or grinding through a sieve. To prepare the sauce, you need to get 1 liter of such juice. Pour juice into a pan of the appropriate size.
- Add to the saucepan with juice 0.5 kg of sugar, 0.5 tsp. salt, 0.5 tsp cinnamon and 0.5 tsp ground black pepper.
- Following sugar and spices, add 100 ml of apple cider vinegar (5%) to the juice.
- Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or spatula (for 1-2 minutes) and let the mixture stand at room temperature for 60 minutes. After a specified period of time we take a saucepan with sauce and put on fire.
- When the sauce boils, slightly reduce the heat and keep it on the stove for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While preparing the sauce, we sterilize the jars and lids in any way convenient for you. After a specified period of time, remove the finished sauce from the stove and pour into jars using a ladle. Do not be confused by the fact that the sauce turned out to be quite liquid. When cooling, it thickens.
- Banks are hermetically sealed with lids. Cover the container with currant sauce with a towel or blanket, turning upside down. We leave them in this position for about a day. After cooling, the jars should be stored in a cool place. If you do not plan to cover the sauce for the winter, then store it in a glass container in the refrigerator, closing it with a nylon cover.
Decoration and serving
Experimentally, you can also add dried cloves, allspice, garlic, red wine, mint, ground coriander, etc. to this sauce. Currant sauce goes well with any kind of baked, boiled, grilled meat in a pan or grill. Serve to the table after cooling completely, pouring directly onto the meat or in a separate bowl. Enjoy your meal!
