Blogger is not cooperating for the last few days. Anyway, Sasha brought home a huge pile of currants. Today, Lesya is making jam. First she sterilizes the jars by baking them in the oven. She boils the lids in the stove, then bakes them dry. She has a big pot filled with boiling currants and sugar. She uses a teacup to skim the foam off the top, I think that's the "bad stuff" (I'm not sure what bad stuff), then she takes the jars and lids out of the oven, fills them with jam, puts the lids on tight and turn each jar upside down on the counter. So far this evening, she's made two huge pots, and has one more to boil up. The jam is really tasty, not too sweet, and it's a beautiful dark magenta color.
