Preheat your oven to 200°C. Quarter the new potatoes, pop them on a lined baking tray and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, spread out and roast on the middle shelf of your oven until golden, 25-30 mins. Halfway through cooking, turn the potatoes and add the pancetta to the tray.

Chop each apple into eight wedges, remove the core. Heat the butter in a frying pan on medium heat. Add the apple, cook until browned all over, 6-8 mins. Turn every minute to make sure they colour evenly. Stir in the stock pot, water (see ingredients for amount) and the apple and sage jelly. Cook until the apple is soft and the sauce is glossy, 3-4 mins. Remove from the heat, cover with foil to keep warm.
