Currant Jelly Method. — Pick over the currants, but do not remove the stems; wash and drain. Mash a few in the bottom of a preserving kettle, using a potato-masher. Add more cur- rants and mash and continue adding currants until all are used. Bring to a boil slowly and let simmer until the cur- rants appear white. Strain through a coarse strainer and allow the juice to drain through a jelly bag. Measure the juice, bring to the boiling point and boil 5 minutes. Add an equal measure of heated sugar
