Blackcurrant jam is a bright and rich dessert that is a classic of Russian cuisine. Its history dates back to ancient times when blackcurrants were valued for their beneficial properties and rich aroma. This jam has an intense sweet-and-sour taste with subtle tart notes that harmoniously complement the sweetness of sugar. It is perfect for serving with tea, using in baking, or simply as a standalone treat. Thanks to minimal thermal processing, it retains the maximum amount of vitamins, making it not only delicious but also healthy. Blackcurrant jam is often used in winter when one especially wants to recall the taste of summer. It can also serve as a base for sauces for meat dishes, giving them unusual fruity nuances.
