Red currant sauce for meat without cooking

We start processing berries immediately after purchasing them. Choose currants responsibly. Pay attention to both the appearance of the berries and their smell. If the currant has a sour aroma, then it has begun to deteriorate. You should refuse to buy such a product. First, we need to sort out the berries. Remove all spoiled fruits from them, as well as leaves and other debris that may have remained among the berries. Pour the currants into a bowl and cover with water. Leave it on for 25 minutes. Then rinse the currants several times. Pour it into a colander and leave in it for a few minutes so that almost all the liquid is drained from the berries. Spread paper towels on the table. Pour the currants on them and leave to dry. Only dry berries should be used in cooking.

Let's start sterilizing the cans. We wash them in warm water with baking soda or detergent. Fill the pot with a little water and transfer it to the stove. We are waiting for the water to boil. After that, scald the jars and lids with boiling water. Further sterilization will be done with steam. To do this, you can use a kettle or a regular saucepan. Position the jar so that it fills with steam. You need to keep the jar in this position for about 2-3 minutes. Place a tea towel on a table or other flat surface. Transfer the jars to it and leave them to dry.

When the currants are dry, they must be chopped. It is best to use a blender for this, as it makes the sauce very tender. Pour the resulting mixture into a plate. It is advisable not to use aluminum cookware, as harmful substances are formed due to it. After that, you must rub the currants through a sieve. A fine colander can be used instead. Squeeze out the juice and cake using ordinary cheesecloth. Mix them together. To help the granulated sugar dissolve in the sauce, mix it with a little water and melt in the microwave. Add the mixture to the sauce. Stir it well. Sprinkle a mixture of black pepper and chili on a plate. These ingredients will add a spice to the sauce. Then we add a pinch of salt and some ginger. Stir the sauce. The last ingredient is vinegar. If you want a flavorful sauce, you can add currant or cherry leaves to it.

Strain the sauce if you don't want seeds or berry pieces in it. Then pour it into the jars. Screw on the caps. Thanks to the vinegar, you can keep the sauce at room temperature. However, it is recommended to leave the sauce in a cool place.For example, in the refrigerator. You can also add lemon juice to the sauce to keep it from spoiling quickly.

A great addition to meat dishes is ready. It will take you less than an hour to prepare it. The result is a delicious sauce that combines spicy and sweet notes. All members of your family will love it. You will definitely decide to cook this sauce again. Buy the ingredients you need and start cooking!
