Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Currants

    Rinse the black currants thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove any stems and leaves.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sorrel

    Wash the sorrel leaves and chop them roughly. In a blender, combine the chopped sorrel leaves with 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed black currants, blended sorrel mixture, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Let the mixture simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the black currants are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled as a unique dessert or topping.
