What can I use in place of reccurrant jelly?

I have a recipie that needs some redcurrent jelly and I can not get any where I live, any suggestions what I could use instead - maybe a mixture of cranberrie sauce and plum jam?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have a safeway/woolworths local to you? I know they sell redcurrant jelly at most of their stores. It will be with the imported/specialty jams. If not try using blackcurrant jelly/jam. Very similar flavour and a fine substitute as long as you don't need it to be red. If you need red you could always strain some raspberry jam to remove any seeds and pulpy bits.
Reply:blackcurrant jam is the closest



Try buyin frozen red currants,

Defrost them,

Put into pot with sugar,

Bring to the boil then allow to reduce till thick.



Beautiful jelly/jam

Hope that helps
Reply:I would think the cranberry sauce would work better than the plum.
Reply:the red current jelly isnt so much for the taste, but for the texture. see if you can find apple jelly, consistency is the same and the taste will not be effected
