Red currant soup
Main Page > Home Kitchen SiriSiri > Fruits and berries
Heat the red (frozen) currants with sugar and a little water, then puree.
Scoop some potato starch and mix it with half a glass of water.
Add the potato starch-water mixture to the berry mixture on the stove, stirring and heating slowly until the mixture thickens.
Stir only until it is just about to boil.
Boiling causes a loss of vitamin C, but it can easily be compensated with products containing berries and fruits.
