Blackcurrants Mashed with Sugar

1. 1 Blackcurrantsverpakking 300 g ≈ $6.00 300 g
2. 2 Sugarverpakking 1 kg ≈ $1.60 450 g

Grijze items zijn zout, kruiden en alles onder de 30 g per pot: dit heb je meestal thuis, dus het is niet in de prijs van de pot inbegrepen. Suiker, azijn en olie vanaf 30 g zijn wel in de prijs meegenomen.

Bereidingswijze

1. Pick over the currants, remove the stems, wash them, and dry them thoroughly on a towel: water will shorten the storage life.

2. Blend the berries with a blender or grind them through a meat grinder until smooth.

3. Mix the puree with 450 g sugar² and leave it at room temperature for 1–2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.

4. Sterilize a 0,5 l jar and lid: steam the jar or heat it in the oven at 120 °C for 15 minutes, and boil the lid for 5 minutes. Let the jar cool.

5. Spoon the puree into the jar, then sprinkle a layer of 1 tablespoon sugar² (about 15 g) on top. Close with a nylon or regular lid.

6. Store only in the refrigerator; do not seal it for shelf storage or put it in the pantry. Storage life in the refrigerator is up to 2 months.
