Classic redcurrant sauce

  5. All these flavor enhancers can be easily replaced with dried ground spices, supplemented with your favorite herbs, roots, spices.

  10. In a wide bowl with a large diameter and at low dosages, the sauce evaporates and thickens quite quickly. Some prefer thinner, others thicker. But don't boil for an hour.
  11. I repeat, for storage in a warm room, pour in at the end table vinegar 9% (2-3 tablespoons).
