Strawberry And Currant Jelly

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb strawberries
• 1 1/4 lb sugar

• 1/2 pint white currant juice
• Water for boiling

Method

1. 1 Boil strawberries in water, then add sugar dissolved in the strawberry liquor.
2. 2 Boil quickly, skim clear, and cool in a bowl without touching to prevent bruising.
3. 3 When currants are ripe, boil the strawberry syrup, skim, and cool slightly.
4. 4 Strain syrup through a sieve, then add red and white currant juices.
5. 5 Boil the combined syrup for 10 minutes until it jellies on a spoon.
