Black currant jam is a traditional Russian dessert valued for its rich taste and aroma of forest berries. Black currants cooked with sugar turn into a thick, velvety jam that pairs perfectly with fresh bread and exquisite desserts. This jam has a slight tartness balanced by sweetness, making it a versatile addition to morning tea or festive pastries. The history of this treat goes back centuries when Russian housewives prepared berries for winter, preserving their beneficial properties. Thanks to the double cooking process, the flavor deepens and the texture becomes more refined. The jam not only delights the palate but also benefits the body due to its high vitamin C content that strengthens immunity.
