• What to use instead of sugar

Instructions

1. Strip the currants from the stems with a fork and discard any damaged ones.
2. Put them in a large heavy-bottomed pan and cook them on their own over high heat until they burst, about 8 minutes.
3. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
4. Boil it hard, stirring with a wooden spoon and skimming off the foam, until it sets: put a drop on a cold plate and, if it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
5. Pour it into clean, hot, dry jars and close them right away.
