Add the fructose and lemon juice to the currants.
The lemon juice serves as both a flavor enhancer and a stabilizer to preserve the natural color of the fruit.
From the kitchen: Black currants are often preferred for this recipe as their tartness balances well with the sweetness of fructose; when using red currants, increasing the amount of lemon juice can provide a better flavor contrast.
