It's ok! I might have missed it too. It may be there *now* but at the
time, that HUGE isle that seemed to have 100 versions or more of
'Jellies/Jams' didn't have it.

Conversely, you'd be disappointed at the standard USA jelly/jam isle.
There is far less variety here.

Check for me? I think Apple Butter was also not there in OZ? Might
take a little google link to explain that one. It's not the same as
apple sauce but something you spread on toast. I do not recall seeing
it.
