Red Currant Jam

Red currants are bold, tart, and full of character—perfect for fans of preserves with an edge. With a flavor often compared to raspberry and passion fruit, they’re a staple in European kitchens and bring a distinctly vibrant tang to the table. We start with frozen red currants, gently macerated to release just enough juice, then cook them down with pure cane sugar and a touch of citrus pectin to create a jam that’s both textured and bright. The result is an intensely fruity, slightly earthy spread that pairs beautifully with toast, strong cheeses, or as a tart counterpoint in sweet or savory dishes.
