Redcurrant jelly is a versatile and flavorful condiment made from redcurrants, a tart berry that grows in clusters. It is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes to add a tangy and slightly sweet taste. Redcurrant jelly is often enjoyed with roasted meats such as lamb or venison, where it acts as a complementary sauce. It can also be used as a glaze for poultry or added to sauces, dressings, and marinades for a burst of fruity flavor. In desserts, redcurrant jelly is a popular ingredient in tarts, cakes, and jams, bringing a delightful tartness to the sweetness.
