How to freeze red currants
Redcurrant is highly valued for its medicinal properties. No wonder these berries have long been considered health berries. Redcurrant contains a lot of pectins, which help to remove toxins and toxins from the body.
Berries help prevent the development of inflammatory processes. Redcurrant is rich in sugars, organic acids, mineral salts and vitamins. Red currants are especially important for the content of vitamins A, C and R. The potassium contained in these berries has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and removes excess fluid from the body. Fresh berries are useful to increase appetite and promote the digestibility of animal protein.
The harvest period for red currants is quite short. Therefore, during this time it is necessary to have time to prepare red currants for the winter. It can be rubbed with raw sugar to make jelly. In this form, almost all vitamins are preserved, but there is also a rather important drawback: at the same time, a very large amount of sugar is added to the currant.
There is an alternative in which vitamins are preserved, but the amount of sugar can be significantly reduced. Freeze red currants in the form of mashed sugar. With this method of freezing sugar, very little is added to the puree. Such puree can be simply added to tea with a spoon or simply enjoyed in winter by spreading it on a piece of bun.
And frozen red currants in the form of whole berries will help you beautifully decorate desserts in winter, and you can also make fruit drinks, compote or jelly from it.
