This recipe was extracted from The table (1889) by Alexander Filippini, page 321. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Currant Jelly.— Select sixteen pounds of small, old Dutch cur- rants, not too ripe; those are preferable which are picked at the end of the month of June. Place them in a copper basin on the hot stove, and begin stirring them immediately from the bottom, using a wooden spatula; when they begin to scald, pour them into a clean tub, and with a pounder mash them thoroughly. Strain them through a flannel jelly-bag back into the copper basin, adding to the juice seven pounds of granulated sugar

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
