REDCURRANT JELLY
The redcurrant season is short, just a few weeks in midsummer, so don't miss it. Redcurrants are rich in natural pectin and acid, making them a top-rate fruit for making jelly. Redcurrant jelly is a traditional accompaniment to roast lamb, as the acidity of the jelly balances the richness of the meat. It's also excellent with poultry, sausages and oily fish. A spoonful added to caramelised onions or the Sunday gravy works wonders. If you melt a little redcurrant jelly and brush it over a strawberry or raspberry tart, it will make the berries sparkle like rubies.

Steps:
- Lightly pick over the redcurrants, removing any leaves and fibrous stalks- no need to top and tail them or strip them off their stalks. Rinse them and put them in a large heavy-based pan with 500ml/18fl oz water. Cover and bring to a simmer for about 20 minutes until the currants are completely soft. Towards the end of the cooking time, press the currants with a potato masher or jam skimmer to break the skins and release the juice.
- Strain through a jelly bag suspended over a large bowl and leave to drip through for several hours or overnight. If you haven't a jelly bag and stand you can double strain the mixture: first through a sieve set over a bowl, then line the sieve with a piece of fine muslin and pass it through the sieve again.
- Place two saucers in the fridge to test for setting point.
- Measure the juice, put it into the cleaned pan and bring to simmering point. When the juice is simmering, for every 1 litre/1¾ pints juice, add 650g/1lb 7oz sugar, adding a third at a time. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Increase the heat to a fast boil for about 6 minutes until the jelly reaches setting point. You'll know when the jelly is nearly ready because the loose, light coloured bubbles on the surface will have all but disappeared, the mixture will thicken and the boil will be slower. Remove the pan from the heat - otherwise the jelly will continue to cook - and drop a little of the hot jelly onto a cold saucer. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then lightly push your finger through to see if it forms a light gel that holds its shape and doesn't just pool away. It should not be at all sticky. If the mixture remains runny, return the pan to the heat for a couple more minutes, then test again.
- Remove from the heat and let the mixture rest for several minutes. If a skin forms, carefully remove it using a slotted spoon or jam skimmer.
- Tip the mixture into a jug with a good pouring lip and carefully tap the jug on the work surface to knock out any air bubbles. Pour into the warm sterilised jars to fill to the brim and immediately seal with screwtop lids.
- Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to a year. Once opened keep in the fridge and use within 3 months.

REDCURRANT JAM
Have a glut of redcurrants? High in pectin, they're a great ingredient for jams and jellies. If you prefer a seeded jam, simply omit sieving the fruit

Steps:
- Put two small, sterilised saucers in the freezer - you will use these to test the setting point of the jam. You can sterilise the saucers by washing them in hot soapy liquid, rinsing and placing in an oven at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for 5 mins. Remove carefully and allow to cool.
- Remove the stalks from the fruit, and place the fruit in a large saucepan. Pour in 150ml water, bring to a simmer and cook gently for about 10 mins until the fruit has softened and is starting to break down. Place a sieve over a mixing bowl and push as much of the fruit and pulp through the sieve with the back or a spoon as possible, discarding the seeds and any stalks. You don't need to sieve the fruit if you prefer a seeded jam.
- Weigh the liquid and add three quarters of the sugar to the total liquid (for example, if your liquid is 400g, add 300g of sugar). Place back in the pan over a low medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Once the sugar has fully dissolved, turn the heat up and bring to the boil. Stir occasionally. If using a jam or digital thermometer, wait until the liquid reaches 105C. If not, after about 8 mins, remove a saucer from the freezer and spread a teaspoon of jam over it. Let it sit for 1 min before pushing your finger through the liquid. If it starts to wrinkle, the jam is ready. If not, return to the boil and check again after another minute. Continue to do this until the jam reaches setting point.
- Allow to cool slightly, then pour into sterilised jars and allow to cool completely. Store in a cool dark place.

Steps:
- Tip the peppers, chillies (with seeds), ginger and garlic into a food processor, then whizz until very finely chopped. Scrape into a heavy-bottomed pan with the tomatoes, sugar and vinegar, then bring everything to the boil. Skim off any scum that comes to the surface, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for about 50 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Once the jam is becoming sticky, continue cooking for 10-15 mins more, stirring frequently so that it doesn't catch and burn. It should now look like thick, bubbling lava. Cool slightly, transfer to sterilised jars, then leave to cool completely. Keeps for 3 months in a cool, dark cupboard - refrigerate once opened.
