Have you heard of currant sauce? Probably not! Our grandmothers and mothers prepared only jam and compotes from this wonderful berry. And for those who have summer cottages and grow berry bushes, the choice is richer - this is juice from ripe currants, and all kinds of variations of pickled vegetables with the addition of this berry. But the sauce is just fantastic, sweetish with a slight tart aftertaste. None of the store-bought sauces and ketchups can compare with it.

Recipe for currant sauce for meat

1. To prepare the sauce, you will need blackcurrants. If it's not the season, you can buy frozen berries in the supermarket, as I did. Rinse under running cold water, sort and, if necessary, remove the ponytails. Pour the currants into a saucepan with high sides or a small saucepan. Add dry red wine, soy sauce, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, ground black pepper and paprika. We put on fire.

2. Boil over medium heat for several minutes, approximately 5-10 (the mass will decrease in volume). Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer a little more. Bring the sauce to a boil. Remove from the fire, let it cool and cool down.

3. The sauce is ready to use. Enjoy your meal!
