  • Add the vinegar, turn the heat to low and let simmer for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  • Stir in the red currant jelly.
  • Taste. If necessary, add a little sugar. Then add some salt as you like.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

Gr8 Note:
Red Currant Jelly is available at Cost Plus World Market. If unavailable, blackcurrant preserves worked deliciously, too.
