Mathew Said:

How can a work out the amount of each part in this recipe?

We Answered:

The amounts do not matter, only the proportions.

For example, if you were making this for a party, you may want to use pints as the unit of measure.

2 pints grapefruit, 2 pints orange juice, 1 pint lemonaid, 1 pint lime juice, 2 pints black currant

You could even use juice glasses or coffee cups as the unit and it will come out the same.

Can I make jam from store bought blackcurrants? All the recipes I found, call for blackberrie bushes.?

We Answered:

No, you can use them. The reason the books say freshly picked is because you'll know they're fresh, that they haven't been "helped" to grow or has anything put on them to keep them shop fresh. If you've picked them straight off the bush, you know what will be going into your jam and not any additives or preservatives.

These ones will do for jam making though.

Try this one...
It is not black current jam, but it should work in your machine...
As for the settings, please look it up in your instruction booklet, but I am sure it will not be a very high setting. Jam must never boil vigorously, it should rather just simmer until the sugar becomes thick and stringy.
Try this anyhow;

(Green pepper Jam)

This is a lovely jam for having on toast. Be sure to chop the green peppers finely

4 cups of finely chopped green peppers 500 ml sugar
2 ml salt 2 ml fine ginger
2 ml mixed spice

Mix all ingredience in a stainless steel pot and stand for 21/2 hours. Bring to boil for about 40 minutes over a moderate heat until syrup thickens. Remove from heat and bottle while warm in sterilized bottles.

Is blackcurrant sorbet a good idea?

We Answered:

I haven't tried it but am a big fan of blackcurrant jam which has similar ingredients. =)

Here is a simple recipe.

Blackcurrant sorbet

1kg blackcurrants
250g sugar
500ml water
100g glucose syrup

Put the water and sugar into a pan and heat gently for 3-4 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the glucose and blackcurrants and cook
over a low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring every so often until the blackcurrants soften.
Remove from the heat and blend two thirds in a liquidiser
to a smooth purÃ©e, then blend the other third briefly and coarsely and mix the two batches together. Leave to cool then churn in an ice-cream machine and store in the freezer.
