1

Put the blackcurrants into a saucepan. Sprinkle the sugar over the fruit and pour in the water
Allow the sugar to dissolve over a moderate heat, then bring the liquid to simmering point, squashing the fruit with the back of a wooden spoon as it heats if you have a handheld potato masher you can use this instead of a spoon to break down the fruit.
