My brother planted thousands of blackcurrant trees in the back garden. This year is the second year, and they are full of fruit. My family can't finish it. The day before I left, my father, brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law worked together. In a short while, I picked about 20 kilograms and let me take it back to Tianjin. There are a lot of large and small bottles and cans. When I got home, I encountered the "refrigerator incident". Because the refrigerator was tripped and went on strike for many days, all the food stored in it had to be thrown away. The refrigerator also needed to be scrubbed and turned off to dry. Sometime. Looking at so many black currants, what should I do? I can’t watch the fresh fruit turn into rotten fruit. This is a fruit without any pesticides. It can’t be wasted. I used some sparkling wine and thought of making jam. So There are these fruity and sweet jams with attractive colors. "
