Homemade blackcurrant jam

Overview

Black currant, formerly known as black currant, also known as currant, dry grape, black bean, black currant, etc., is rich in vitamin C, anthocyanins, etc. The known health benefits of blackcurrant include: prevention of gout, anemia, edema, arthritis, rheumatism, oral and throat diseases, cough, and good effects on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. My brother planted thousands of blackcurrant trees in the back garden. This is the second year and they are full of fruit. My family can’t finish them all. The day before I left, my father, brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law worked together. In a short time, they picked about 20 kilograms and asked me to take them back to Tianjin. I packed a lot of bottles and cans, big and small, and when I got home, I encountered a refrigerator incident. The refrigerator was out of action for many days because the circuit breaker tripped. All the food stored in it had to be thrown away. The refrigerator also needed to be cleaned and the power was cut off for some time to dry. Looking at so many black currants, I felt worried, what should I do? I can't let the fresh fruit turn into rotten fruit. This fruit does not have any pesticides and cannot be wasted. I used some soaking wine and thought of making jam, so I came up with these jams with sweet fruity flavor and attractive color.
