Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 10 min.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
Bring 400 g Blackcurrant coulis (without sugar) to a boil, skim the foam that forms on the surface.

Stage 2 - 1 min.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
Add 100 g glucose syrup and 450 g caster sugar at once.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
Bring to a boil again while whisking gently.

You may need to skim again.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
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.

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

Stage 10 - 2 min.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
...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.
Fruit paste : Blackcurrant
