Author Topic: Blackcurrant and Rum Jam (Read 3706 times)

Hello,

I have tons of blackcurrants in the freezer and thought it might be nice to make some of them into a slightly different jam for Christmas pressies. So was thinking rum. Have had a quick look on Google but not found much help. Anyone got any old family recipes they care to share? Would I soak them in rum or just add a couple of tablespoons? How about sloe gin instead? Any tips gratefully received.

Helen.

I make "Plum N' Rum jam to sell at the village hall coffee morning. It is very popular and sells for £1.00 per jar. I make the jam as normal and add a tot of rum before it reaches setting point. I have never tried it with blackcurrants though.
