What is Red Currant Jam?
Red currant jam is a sweet spread made from the red currant. The currant is a small, round bright red berry that grows in clusters. The jam is made by cooking the berries down, adding sugar, and an additive such as pectin to thicken it. The jam is a deep red color, with tiny seeds and has a sticky and semi-thick texture that spreads easily and is very different from jelly and not gelatinous. The flavor is sweet and tart with a hint of rhubarb and cranberry.
