  • 500 g Blackcurrants fresh or frozen, stems removed
  • 85 g Caster Sugar

Instructions

  • Place the blackcurrants, caster sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
    500 g Blackcurrants, 85 g Caster Sugar, ½ Lemon, 1 tablespoon Water
  •  Immediately turn down the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the blackcurrants have broken down
