Prepare ingredients for currants with sugar, as well as lids and jars. For the indicated number of products, I required 5 cans of 0.25 liters and 2 cans per 0.5 l. But their number can vary depending on the juiciness of the berry.
Tip: Black currant is considered ripe if, when collecting, it is easily disconnected from twigs. If the berries were in the thicket of the bush, they can have a brown skin, but remain ripe.
If you do not want to use sugar, then there is only one way out — freeze the berry. In this case, the sweetener can not be added at all. Or use brown sugar, Jerusalem artichoke syrup, stevia or other substitutes.
