Description Edit

Although this is a recipe for juice, if you skip the final step, you will end up with red currant jelly. Either way you've made a good choice!

Ingredients Edit

• 1 cup fresh red currants
• 1½ cup sugar
• ½ cup water

Directions Edit

1. Rinse berries in cold water and remove stems.
2. Place berries in a large mixing bowl and mash to a pulp.
3. Place pulp in a clean cloth and squeeze out all of the juice over a clean bowl. Note: do not do this over the bowl used in step 2. Set aside pulp for later.
4. Add sugar to the juice and stir until dissolved (do not cook).
5. Cover and allow to chill overnight in the refrigerator.
6. This option is entirely up to you.
7. If you'd like to drink the red currant jelly, boil some water and remove the rest of the juices.
8. Add more sugar and a couple of ice cubes.
9. Enjoy your drink!.
