Notes
I've roughly worked out the servings here as a tablespoon of blackcurrant jam. I got 3 x 250ml jars of jam from this recipe.Your blackcurrant jam will keep for up to a year in a cool cupboard there is no need to water bath can it.Use your jam on toast and scones, as a cake filling, thinned as a desert topping or glaze for roasting duck or on a cheeseboard too.
