RASPBERRY-CURRANT JAM
I often use currants instead of pectin in making jams. They add a lively tang and ensure the jam sets beautifully, especially since I use as little sugar as I can get away with. Use red currants and red raspberries together, or black currants with black raspberries.

- Press them through a sieve, and reserve the puree.
- Discard the skins, stems and seeds.
- Gently rinse the raspberries and drain them well.
