We have a blackcurrant bush behind the house in the yard. Nobody is taking care of it.
When I was watering my tomatoes and other veggies, I saw that the currants were getting ripe last week. I waited if some of the others in our house would harvest them.
Now the currants are starting to shrivel up or get overripe. I took a small container with me and harvested some of them.
After cleaning and weighing them, I had 175 g of blackcurrants. I bought fresh strawberries this morning and added some to them.
To prevent any kind of jam or jelly to go bad, I add some alcohol. Tanqueray Royale Blackcurrant Gin was my choice.
Ingredients:
175 g blackcurrants
100 g strawberries
25 ml Tanqueray Royale Gin
155 g 2:1 Pektin Sugar
Put everything in a pot and cook it until the sugar is dissolved. Let it cook on high for 5 min. Take a stickblender and mash the berries.
Put in a sterilized jar.
