Currant Jelly

Sauces & Condiments

Currant jelly is a jelly made from the juice of currant berries, most often red currants, cooked with sugar until it sets to a thick, spreadable consistency. It is commonly used as a glaze for roasted meats such as pork, lamb, and game birds, as a pastry filling, and as an accompaniment to soft cheeses like brie or camembert. Its tart-sweet flavor also makes it a common addition to sauces, marinades, and dressings, and it pairs well with rosemary, thyme, sage, walnuts, and pecans.
