Grape Jelly Drizzle

Grape Jelly Drizzle

Cooked-down berries and Concord grape juice give this smooth drizzle a playful PB&J flavor. Straining out the seeds leaves a glossy ribbon that runs over a warm waffle.

Butter Club Notes

This is the jelly side of a peanut butter and jelly pancake, but built for a squeeze bottle instead of a sandwich. I wanted that familiar grape jelly flavor in the background, but with enough real berry flavor to make it taste fresh and homemade. The berries give it depth, the Concord grape juice keeps it classic, and blending everything smooth makes it easy to drizzle over pancakes without fighting chunks of fruit. It is not a stiff canning jelly — it is a smooth, glossy house jelly sauce made for breakfast service.
