A deeply coloured blackcurrant preserve balanced with white sugar and fresh lemon juice.
About blackcurrant jam
Blackcurrant jam is a classic fruit preserve that captures the berry's naturally high acidity and pectin. This profile fixes Good Food's concise blackcurrant, white-caster-sugar and lemon-juice version.
The flavour is intensely berry-led, balancing blackcurrant's tart, almost floral depth with clean sweetness and a fresh lemon edge.
The finished jam is glossy and dark purple, with softened fruit suspended in a thick, spreadable set.
