Steps:
- If you don't have a cooking thermometer, put a saucer in the freezer. Sterilise the jars you want to use. Tip the blackcurrants into a heavy-based saucepan with about 100ml of water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins until the fruit has broken down to a chunky pulp. Leave to cool slightly.
- You now have two options. For a smooth jelly-style jam, squash the fruit through a sieve into a bowl. If you prefer your jam chunky and seeded, leave the pulp as it is. Whether it's strained or unstrained, weigh the fruit pulp and then add 400g of sugar to every 500g of pulp, then tip back in the saucepan.
- Pour in the lemon juice then heat gently, stirring, to dissolve the sugar. Turn up the heat, then boil hard for about 10 mins or until it reaches 105C (setting point) on a cooking thermometer. If you don't own a thermometer, test for setting point by spooning a little jam onto the cold saucer. After a couple of minutes gently push your finger through the jam - if the surface wrinkles, it's ready. If not, return to the boil for 2 mins, then re-test.
- Take off the heat and skim off any froth with a slotted spoon. Cool for 10-15 minutes. Stir gently to distribute the fruit, then ladle into sterilised jars. Keeps for 6 months in a cool dry cupboard.

BEST EVER BLACK CURRANT JAM
Steps:
- Add the black currants to a deep pot along with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Stir to combine and turn the heat to high, stirring every now and then until the mixture starts to bubble and become hot.
- Use a potato masher to mash the currants until they begin to fall apart.
- When the mixture begins to boil, continue to stir every 30 seconds or so.
- Use an instant-read thermometer - here's a link to mine (affiliate link) - to measure the temperature of the jam as it boils. Be sure the thermometer is measuring at the middle of the jam and not touching the bottom of the pot.
- Continue boiling as the temperature climbs and don't let it stop boiling until it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit (for low altitudes) or 210 degrees Fahrenheit (for high altitudes). This should take about 8 minutes or so.
- Once the correct temperature is reached, remove the pot from the heat and carefully spoon the jam into 2 mason jars. The jam might seem a little bit liquid at this stage - don't worry! It will thicken as it cools.
- Add the lids to the jars and allow to cool at room temperature until completely cool.
- Store in the fridge and enjoy!

Steps:
- Prepare: Rinse the black currants in a sieve. Remove the stems.
- Cook: Place sugar and water into a pot. Bring to a boil on medium-low heat. Add berries and lemon juice, bring to a boil again. Cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes or until the jam reaches about 104 degrees Celsius/ 220 degrees Fahrenheit (or 102 degrees Celsius/ 216 degrees Fahrenheit for an altitude of approximately 300 m/ 1000 feet or more). (Note 3).
- Jars: Remove what's left from the foam with a spoon. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars.
- Can: For a longer shelf-life, can in a water bath for 10 minutes; it will keep for about 1 year. Or refrigerate the jam; it will keep for at least 4 months.

Steps:
- Place the black currants in a medium stock pot along with the water. Bring to a boil then simmer for about 10 minutes until the berries are softened. Add the sugar and lemon juice and simmer until the temperature registers 220 degrees F. (I use an instant read thermometer.)
- If you're going to use the jam within a few months, pour the jam into sterilized jars and once cool store in the fridge.For long-term storage you can use the water bath canning method: Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, wipe the rims of the jars and screw on the lids. Process the jars in a water bath canner (5 minutes for half pints, 10 minutes for pints and quarts). Carefully remove the jars and let them sit undisturbed for 24 hours before removing the rims and storing them in a dark cool place to store. Makes about 3 pints.

- Add the blackcurrants to a thick-bottomed pot and simmer on low for about 10 minutes until they begin to release their juice.
- Add sugar and lemon juice (if using). Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over. It will foam heavily, make sure the pot is no more than 2/3rds full when you start.
- When the jam stops foaming and begins to thicken, cook for another few minutes before pouring into canning jars. If you're using a thermometer, the jam should be roughly 218 to 220 degrees F at sea level. Be sure to adjust for altitude! See note above.
- Load into half-pint canning jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Attach 2 part lids and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Or, alternatively, store in the refrigerator and use within a month or two.
