:thumb: I have posted a recipe for apple mint jelly Kedi... Plus you can use frozen gooseberries too...!:thumb:

 

:thumb: The vinegar is there to act as preservative I think Kedi..... Also maybe to make the flavour more traditional perhaps as it is an accompaniment to Lamb etc....:confused: Don't know for sure Kedi, but it has always had vinegar in as far as I know....:D:D
