How to Make Blackcurrant Jam
lizzielenard-vintagesewing.blogspot.co.uk

Blackcurrant jam is very easy to make. Use equal weights of fruit and sugar, and just enough water to cover the fruit in the pan. The fruit needs to be washed and have the stalks removed and can be stored in the freezer before use. Blackcurrants are naturally high in pectin, so provided the fruit is in good condition and not overripe, it should be fairly easy to get a good set.

Scottish Blackcurrant Drizzle Cake Easy Scottish Recipe Homegrown Blackcurrants
Scottish Blackcurrant Drizzle Cake Scottish Recipe
We all got a little bit excited about this new Scottish recipe for blackcurrant drizzle cake! Its such a delicious way to use up your home grown blaccurrants.
We created this using our delicious homegrown Scottish blackcurrants. They grow so well here in our Scottish garden climate and we have tonnes of them in the garden so are always looking for new ways to use them. I’ve not seen a recipe like this in traditional Scottish cooking but I can almost guarantee they would have been growing them in their gardens many moons ago as they are so easy to grow in Scottish climate and they provide such a good nutrititonal boost.
You can print out the full recipe on my website:
If your on Instagram pop over to my page and say hello:
I also post up my new video and blog links to facebook so pop over and give us a like there if you fancy:
I have used lime to flavour my syrup as I think it works really well with the blackcurrants and half of the syrup goes onto the cake first then the blackcurrants are added to the pan to create the blackcurrant drizzle. You will see in the video below how the whole recipe comes together or you can print it out from this page.
I also love using my blackcurrants in smoothie recipes and for making a delicious blackcurrant compote recipe for topping off my traditional Scottish porridge in the morning. I also freeze an absolute tonne of Scottish blackcurrants so I can use them throughout the colder seasons in recipes and give myself and my family a nutritional boost from our Summer blackcurrants in the winter through our smoothies and other Scottish recipes.
Blackcurrants freeze really well and you can also preserve them by making blackcurrant jam or blackcurrant booze! This loaf cake would also freeze well if you wanted to make a few up in advance but without the syrup. I’m always thinking batch cooking these days to help save time in the kitchen. Life is just soooo busy with little ones! Anyway back to this delicious blackcurrant drizzle cake recipe.
