Red currant jam

I run two different batches of preserves; one is the standard jam that we all love, the other is syrup consistency. Syrup is awesome for quick sauces, vinaigrettes, and most certainly juice. I love cherry juice, I mix a cup size of syrup preserve on a quart jar with water and a bit of sugar (plus a few drops of almond extract).

If you like currant juice this is one of the most convenient ways to preserve it.

only difference i do is i add the sugar before storing. once i get enough cherries i plan to do the same.

I remove the seeds from my blackberries too.
