Blackcurrant Jam for Winter
Preserves • Russian
Description
The quick blackcurrant jam, often referred to as 'five-minute jam,' has its advantages: it turns out less sweet, more vibrant, and retains more vitamins. However, this quick jam is unlikely to last until the end of winter. Therefore, it’s also worth preparing a couple of jars of classic, thick jam, which resembles fruit preserves; it will surely delight you until the first days of spring.
