Foxmoor Farm’s Black Currant Jam

All natural black currant jam. No pectin or harsh preservatives makes this jam naturally delicious.

Time: 45 minutes

Makes: About 12 jars of jam (250mL each)

Ingredients

  • 5 cups of fresh or frozen black currants
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 4 cups of sugar

Instructions

  • Put water and berries in a pot and bring to boil
  • Boil the currant mixture for 10 minutes
  • Reduce to medium heat and add sugar and lemon juice, stirring well until incorporated
  • Bring the mixture to a boil again
  • Boil for 15 minutes, making sure to stir regularly as the jam has a tendency to boil over at this point
  • If you would like a thicker, faster setting jam, you may boil the jam for 2-4 minutes longer
  • Pour the jam into jars and ensure that they are sealed tightly. The jam will set naturally within the next 1-2 days. Once seal is broken, keep refrigerated.

Black Currant Gin Sour

This blackcurrant gin sour blends the sweetness of blackcurrant cordial with bright gin botanicals and sour citrus. 

Ingredients

  • 2oz / 60ml London Dry Gin
  • 1 oz / 30ml Blackcurrant Cordial
  • 1oz / 30ml Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½ an egg white (or ½ oz unsalted aquafaba)
  • Fresh thyme sprigs
  • Ice

Instructions

  • Fill a martini or coupe glass with ice and set this aside to chill while you make the cocktail.
  • Combine gin, blackcurrant cordial, lemon juice, and egg whites in a cocktail shaker. Add in a sprig of fesh thyme and use a cocktail stirrer to muddle the leaves into the liquids.
  • Add on the lid and shake for 15 seconds. This is called a ‘dry shake,’ which better mixes in the egg white.
  • Fill the shaker with ice, and shake again for 10 seconds until well chilled and combined.
  • Remove the ice from the glass, then strain the drink into the chilled cocktail glass. Garnish your Blackcurrant Gin Sour with a sprig of fresh thyme.
