Step by Step guide

Step 1

Sort the berries and remove the stems. Place the currants in a basin and cover them with cold water. Usually, a lot of small debris floats to the surface; remove it.

Step 2

Drain the water and rinse the berries once more, then place them in a sieve to dry on a towel.

Step 3

Dissolve the sugar in water over low heat, then bring the syrup to a boil.

Step 4

Grate the ginger.

Step 5

As soon as the syrup boils, add the berries along with the ginger and cook for 5–7 minutes.

Step 6

In a pot or saucepan, bring some water to a boil, place a dish with a flat perforated bottom on top, and then set the jars on it. Leave for 10–15 minutes.
