Ingredients:

500gm of Redcurrants after removing the stalks and washing
250 gm of Jam sugar (Proportion of sugar to fruit 1:2)
1 tsp of lemon juice ( or 1/2 tsp of citric acid)
Method:
Mix all the ingredients into a heavy bottom pot and set it on medium heat.
After all the sugar has melted the fruit will start cooking.
After about 10 min. or so it starts thickening.
Reduce the heat.
Keep stiring to avoid burning and to attain an even consistency.
How to test if its ready for bottling?
Add a few drops to a plate and tilt the plate slightly. If the jam flows then its not yet ready.
Repeat the process till the jam stops flowing. Now its ready for bottling.
Switch off the heat. And set all the sterilised jars on a tea towel.
This will help in preventing the jam jars from cracking while filling the hot jam.
Fill the jars to the brim and close the lid tightly. Turn the jars upside down on the tea towel for about 10 min.
Turn them back with the lid facing up. This helps in creating a vacuum which will preserve the jam for long.
