We offer you a recipe for excellent currant jam, which is prepared very quickly. Hence the name “five minutes”. The recipe is not complicated, even an inexperienced hostess can handle it.

When cooked, currant berries remain soft, almost whole. They do not turn completely into mashed potatoes, as they are cooked for a short time, and in sugar syrup. In addition, more vitamins are stored in such a jam. And after cooling, the jam turns into jelly.

The most difficult thing in this recipe is to sterilize the jars in advance and sort out the currants from the twigs and leaves. Let’s start cooking.
