Ingredients

Blackcurrant berries - 1 kg
Sugar - 1 kg
Freshly squeezed lemon juice - 2 tbsp. l

Step cooking

Wash cans and screw caps well with soda. Sterilizing them is not necessary. We sort and well wash the berries of black currant.
We interrupt the berries with a mashed blender. If there is no blender, you can use a meat grinder.
Add sugar to the resulting mashed berry. Sugar and berries are taken in a ratio of 1: 1.
Add lemon juice to the berry puree and sugar.
Mix everything well and pour into a pan.
We put the pan on the fire and bring the jelly to a boil. Reduce the heat to a minimum and simmer the jelly for 15 minutes. At the same time, stir constantly, do not leave the pot with a boiling mass in order to avoid burning.
We remove the finished jelly from the fire and let it cool completely. It’s better to do it at night.
There is a degree of thickening of the jelly that suits it, then we warm it up, pour it into jars and close it with lids. If the jelly is not thick enough, then put it back on fire, bring to a boil and boil for another 5-10 minutes. And after that we put it in jars. We fill the jars with jelly, leaving a distance of half a centimeter below the neck, and close the lids. The cooled banks are removed for storage in the cellar.
