When I make real berry jelly, I don’t waste the leftover flesh from the berries once they’ve been sieved. Add some green apples and make a smooth jam for using in cream matchsticks, doughnuts or cakes. Just like the bakery jam, but so much nicer! Plus, there’s no waste (except for the apple peel and cores…)
I like to add some raspberry flavouring as the apple can tend to take over since the berries have had a lot of their flavour removed once sieved. I use a pure one called Medicine Flowers for culinary use. These are available at good health food stores or online at Roar Superfoods. It’s very expensive, but only a small amount is needed. Receip developed for the TM31.

Notes
If you don't have 400g left over berry mixture, the recipe is simple to adapt to a smaller amount.
100g berry mix to 100g apples, 2Tbps sugar and juice of 1/2 lemon.
