Wash the currants and remove them from the stems. Place the berries in a pot and crush them. Add water, stir and heat without boiling.

Pour the fruit mash onto a stretched cheesecloth and let the juice drain. After it cools, squeeze the mash through the cloth to extract more juice.

Measure the fruit juice (about 3/4 liter). Add the gelatine sugar at a 2:1 ratio and mix well. Split the vanilla pods and scrape out the seeds. Mix both with the citric acid into the juice.
