Equipment
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 200 g blackcurrants fresh or frozen
- 3 tablespoon honey, maple syrup or sugar
Instructions
- Add the blackcurrants to the pan, along with 4 tablespoons (60ml) of water. If using frozen blackcurrants, reduce the water to 30ml.
- Place the pan over a medium heat, and simmer the blackcurrants for 5 minutes. The skins will split and the fruit will soften.
- Stir in the honey or preferred sweetener and mix well.
- Leave to cool and store in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
Notes
- There's no need to pull the little tails off the blackcurrants, but you can if you prefer.
- If using sugar in the recipe, use either castor or powdered sugar so that it dissolves quickly.
- To turn this blackcurrant sauce into a quick set jam, add a tablespoon of chia seeds.
