Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh blackcurrants
- 120 ml honey
- 30 ml lemon juice
- 60 ml water
Instructions
Rinse the blackcurrants thoroughly under running water and remove any stems or leaves that may be attached.
Place the blackcurrants, honey, lemon juice, and water into a medium-sized saucepan.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves evenly.
Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Allow the mixture to cook for about 35-45 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Mash gently with a fork or potato masher to break down the blackcurrants while leaving some texture.
To test the jam's readiness, place a small spoonful on a cold plate and let it cool. Run a finger through the jam; if the surface wrinkles and stays in place, it's done.
Once the jam reaches the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Transfer the jam to sterilized glass jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature before storing them in the refrigerator. The Paleo Blackcurrant Jam will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
