How to cook blackcurrant jelly? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. If the berries are fresh, sort them and wash them. Leave them in a colander for 10 minutes to drain excess water. Frozen berries must first be thawed; the juice from them will also go into the jelly. I used frozen currants. Choose potato starch for jelly. Corn is better suited for sauces.
