Ingredients
- 1 kg blackcurrants
- 300 g sugar
- 250 ml brandy
- 1 piece untreated lemon zest
- 4 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
Instructions
-
1.
Wash the currants and pat them dry. Pit about one‑quarter of the berries, then combine with the pits, sugar and 50 ml water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a syrupy consistency for about 15 minutes, then remove the pits again. Mix the syrup with the brandy.
-
2.
Distribute the remaining currants into two sterile jars along with the lemon zest, cloves, and the halved cinnamon stick. Pour the currant‑brandy over the berries so everything is covered (add a little more brandy if desired), seal tightly, and store in a cool, dark place for at least five weeks.
