Directions
Place the cleaned fruit in the preserving-pan, without any water, and heat very gently until the currants are softened and well cooked (about 3/4 hr.).
Mash, then strain the pulp through a scalded jelly bag, leaving it to drip undisturbed.
Measure the juice into the cleaned pan.
Add 1 1/4 lb. of sugar to each pint of juice.
Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, and boil, without stirring, for 1 min Swiftly skim the jelly and immediately pour it into the warmed jars, before it has a chance to set in the pan.
