Twist 4: For a tangy citrus version, substitute citrus marmalade for the red currant jelly. Twist 5: For a sweet & spicy version, substitute hot pepper jelly for the red currant jelly. Twist 6: For a grape-licious version, substitute grape jelly for the red currant jelly. Twist 7: For an Indian-influenced version, substitute mango chutney for the red currant jelly.
