Blackcurrant kissel
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Blackcurrant kissel is easy and quick to prepare. Adjust its thickness by varying the amount of starch. In my recipe, the kissel turns out moderately thick. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more starch. Thick kissel works well as a sauce for cottage cheese pancakes, pancakes, or blinis. Serve chilled.
