Method

  1. Use 300g luscious blackcurrants to 600ml good quality red wine vinegar.
  2. Crush the fruit in a mixing bowl, pour over the vinegar then cover closely.
  3. Stir every day for three days, then strain through muslin, a jelly bag or a very fine sieve, and pour into sterilised bottles.
  4. Seal loosely. As there is no sugar in this recipe and the fruit juice will dilute the vinegar, sterilise the filled bottles by the waterbath method.
  5. Stand the bottles on a folded teatowel in a large pan, pour in cold water to about 2.5cms below the top of the bottles if possible.
  6. Bring the water slowly to the boil, and once boiling, maintain for a further twenty minutes.
  7. Carefully remove the bottles from the pan, seal tightly, and the bottles will become vacuum sealed and keep for a year or more.
