Black currant, grated with sugar for the winter - recipe
Take into account the fact that such a billet is a salvation for all sweeties, since it contains almost twice as much sugar as the berries themselves. If you are going to store jars with billets in a cool, then take 1.5 parts of sugar for a part of the berries, at room temperature on the part of the currant will have to use two parts of sugar.
Ingredients:
- currant - 2 kg;
- sugar - 2,5-3 kg.
Preparation
Before preparing the currant, rubbed with sugar, prepare the berries, combining, rinsing and drying them. Pour the berries into enamel or glassware, as the use of metal containers leads to the inevitable destruction of vitamin C. Pour the berries with sugar and thoroughly mash with a wooden crush, making sure that each of the berries is well rubbed.
To avoid fermentation of berries during storage and dissolve all sugar crystals, the future billet is left for 2-3 days at room temperature, covered with gauze and stirring from time to time. During this time, fresh currants, wiped with sugar, will acquire the consistency of jam. Ready mass spread on pre-sterilized banks, not reaching a couple of centimeters to the neck. The remaining space to the neck of the canister is filled with sugar, then close the jars with scalded plastic covers.
