Konfitüre Schwarze Johannisbeere

Konfitüre Schwarze Johannisbeere gives you the blackcurrant side of the fruit shelf: deep color, a tart edge, and a flavor that is more assertive than most red-fruit preserves. By our assessment, that assertiveness is the point, because blackcurrant jam is valued for its sharp berry taste and its usefulness on bread, in yogurt, or in baking. The limit is the same one blackcurrant always has: the acidity and strong aroma can feel stern if you wanted something soft and easygoing. In practice it is a dark, concentrated preserve that does not hide what it is. It sits among the everyday fruit jams, but with a more forceful profile than strawberry or apricot. The jar is very direct about the fruit it contains, and that directness is most of the appeal.
