Warm to a gentle simmer until the currants break up and release all of their dark purple juices (you can do a bit of squishing with a spoon to help with this if you like).
2. Meanwhile, soak the gelatine leaves in some cold water for around five minutes until they soften.
3. Push the blackcurrant mixture through a sieve and sweeten to taste with a little brown sugar; a tablespoon should be sufficient. Top with extra apple juice (as needed) to bring the amount up to 250ml.
4. Return the juice to the saucepan to warm through again. Squeeze any excess water from the gelatine leaves and add them to the pan, giving them a stir to quickly dissolve them.
