Red currant with sugar without cooking
To remember a specific recipe in this case is not required, pay attention to the proportions: one part of the berries for one part of the sugar for a moderate sweetness of the billet or more to taste.
After picking berries, having cleared them from the remains of pedicles and rinsing well, proceed to grind them. Pure currants can be without problems in the meat grinder, and if you need to get rid of the smallest remnants of peel and bones, just wipe the mashed potatoes through a sieve.
Pour sugar and mix to ready berry puree. After covering the jam, leave it to stand until the sugar crystals are completely dissolved, stirring occasionally.

Recipe for currant grated with sugar without cooking
Ingredients:
- sugar - 2 kg;
- currant - 1 kg.
Preparation
If you intend to leave the currant to be stored at room temperature for the whole winter, or even for a whole year, then much more sugar, about 2 kg to 1 kg of berries, will be required. Thanks to the high concentration of sugar, such a product will remain on the shelf even without sterilization, although it will be necessary to take time to infuse the product before canning.
Fill the currant with granulated sugar in enamel or glassware. Peel the berries with a wooden pestle until you break the integrity of each of the berries. Cover the container with a future jam gauze and leave it for at least two days at room temperature. This time is necessary not only to completely dissolve the sugar crystals, but also to ensure that the product does not ferment during storage.
When there is no sugar, raw black currant jam is poured over the sterilized jars, a couple of centimeters of sugar is poured over the top and covered with all the scalded lids.
Such a product will not only be an excellent winter delicacy, but will also help fight the first signs of a cold, and will also supplement the need for vitamin C.
