Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.

Bring 400 g blackcurrant coulis (without sugar) to a boil, skim the foam that forms on the surface.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add 100 g glucose syrup and 450 g caster sugar at once.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

Bring to a boil again while whisking gently.

You may need to skim again.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Mix in a bowl 50 g caster sugar and 40 g jam gelling agent, then add this mixture to the pan, whisking briskly.

Note: We make this sugar + gelling agent mixture to facilitate the incorporation of the gelling agent into the blackcurrant, and to avoid that it clumps.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 7 min.

Bring to a boil again, then keep at a low simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 2 min.

Turn off the heat, skimming one last time if necessary.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 hours

Pour into a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 inch) metal frame, lined with a sheet of cling film.

If you don't have this kind of frame, use a simple dish, like a casserole dish.

Let cool, then put in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 3 min.

Turn out onto a sheet of baking paper placed on a cutting board.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 2 min.

Cut out strips...

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

...then squares or small rectangles.

I have a preference for small rectangles of 1 cm by 2, but of course it is up to you.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 5 min.

It is not essential, but more beautiful, you can coat your blackcurrant pastes by rolling them in crystal sugar.

Stage 12

Store in a cool, dry, airtight place.

Remarks

You can use fresh or frozen blackcurrant coulis

Keeping: Several weeks, in a dry closed jar.

Source: Home made.

Cream sauce with Vin Jaune

This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune. The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour.
