The rich blackcurrant grape flavour of these powder-blue berries makes for a grown-up twist on an old-school kid’s favourite.

Roughly chop the whole apple – core, skin and all – into small cubes. Don’t worry, these fibrous bits will be sieved out later and the large amounts of pectin they contain will actually help create a smooth set to the finished jelly.
Tip the apple into a medium saucepan with the Oregon grapes, sugar, lime zest and juice. Gently simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While still steaming hot, press the mixture through a metal sieve using the back of a spoon and pour the strained liquid into sterilised jars.
Serve by spreading generous helpings of the jelly in a peanut butter sandwich for a classic all-American favourite, made even more ‘American’ by frying in butter on both sides until crisp, golden and oozing.
