Unmatched red currant sauce for meat

To begin with, we will have to carefully sort out the red currant berries. Transfer them to a large bowl or saucepan. Remove all spoiled and damaged fruits. They should not be used to make a sauce. Pour cold water over the berries. Debris will float to its surface, which could remain among the berries. Use a piece of cloth to remove it. This will significantly save your time. After that, change the water and leave the currants for 20-25 minutes. When the time is up, rinse the berries several times. Spread a regular tea towel or paper towels on the table. Place the berries on top of them. The towel will absorb all excess moisture.

Now we need to chop the red currant. You can use a meat grinder or blender to do this. After that, wipe the chopped berries. Use a strainer or fine colander. Squeeze out the juice and cake using cheesecloth. Mix them together.

Move the berries to a speed. Transfer it to low heat. Wait for the berries to gurgle. Then reduce heat to very low. If the berries begin to boil, you will have to throw out the product and start cooking from the very beginning. Then start adding sugar. It is best to do this gradually, in small portions. Stir the berries constantly so that the granulated sugar dissolves quickly. Then add ground cloves and cinnamon to the sauce. Stir the berries well. Then add black pepper and black allspice to the pan. The last ingredient is vinegar. Stir the sauce again and cook for 5 minutes.

We turn to sterilization of cans. Rinse the jars in warm water and baking soda or detergent. Fill a saucepan with a little cold water. Transfer it to fire. When the water boils, scald the jars and lids with boiling water. Further sterilization will be carried out using steam. Fill the kettle with water and transfer it to the stovetop. When the water boils, place the jar on the spout of the kettle so that it fills with steam. Keep it in this position for about 2-3 minutes. After that, transfer the jar to a towel and leave it to dry. If you don't have a kettle in your kitchen, use a saucepan.

You can strain the sauce before pouring it into the jars. Then he will be without pieces of berries. You can use a strainer or cheesecloth for this. Transfer the sauce to the jars. Screw on the caps. Be careful not to crack the glass. If this happens, change the jar.Turn it over and place it on a towel, which must be spread out on the table in advance. Leave the sauce in this position to cool completely.
