When I saw a little carton of red currants at Trader Joe's for the first time, I couldn't resist buying them. Having no plan but adoring their cute mini-grapeness and cranberry-esque color, they came home with me.
I ended up making a simple jam, which I ate with Brie and water crackers. It was tart and sweet and such a good partner for the Brie (although what isn't delicious with brie?) I think it would also be great as a sauce for meat, similar to a cranberry sauce.
Red Currant Jam:
(makes about 1/2 c)
1 small carton red currants
1/4 c brandy
2 tbs sugar (or to taste)
Directions:
Stem the currants, allow to come to a boil with other ingredients, simmer until desired thickness.
