@Norman: I make jam with three currants, white, red and black, following the recipe for just blackcurrant and it works fine

I have seen recipes that say to remove the leftover dried up blossom before making the jam. Do any of you do this?

Make all my own jams as did my mother. In the winter blackcurrant jam makes a really soothing hot drink, particulaly good if you have a sore throat. Put 2 good teaspoons of jam in a mug add boiling water to top of cup. Stir with care until it partially dissolves, allow to cool slightly so you do not burn your mouth. Full of vitamin c and much cheaper than buying blackcurrant drink.
