Ingredients

6 kg currants your choice
3 kg preserving sugar (2: 1)
1 lemon (s), the juice it

Instructions

Clean the berries. Mix with the preserving sugar in a large saucepan, add the lemon juice and bring to the boil. Brush through a hair sieve and bring to the boil again, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Make a gelling test (on a plate to see if it is already setting). Cook until the gel sample fits. Then immediately fill into prepared glasses. Disinfect the lids with a little alcohol and turn them upside down for a few hours. When they have cooled, put labels on them and put them in the pantry.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
