You can make this dessert ahead and refrigerate, in which case remove it about an hour before serving to allow it to develop its' full flavour. Or prepare the stewed apple and the breadcrumbs and layer up just before serving. The toasted breadcrumbs will stay crisp if you store them in an airtight container. In Denmark this traditional dessert is covered with whipped cream and little blobs of redcurrant jelly before serving. Try adding cinnamon or spices to the apple mix and chopped hazelnuts to the toasted breadcrumbs.

Make this jelly as hot as you like by adding more crushed chillies or leaving the whole dried chillies to simmer for longer when cooking. Ancho chillies add mild heat and sweetness while the chipotle adds deep smokey heat. Use whole fresh chillies if you prefer. Eat with barbecued meat (great as a glaze on pork or chicken) also delicious with cream cheese and crackers. The recipe makes about 3 standard size jam jars (378ml/1lb)
