It's originated from the red tart and black berries used primarily to make jams and jellies.

If you see the word "Red Currant Jelly"
Think of one of these two conditions
1- Klebsiella pneumoniae infection that produces redcurrant jelly like sputum.
or
2- Intussusception (specially in children) that produces redcurrant jelly-like stools because of intestinal obstruction and hemorrhage.
