Someone was looking for a recipe for wine jelly. This is one that I
have used -- it turned out very well and it is really easy. The main
difference between the recipe directions and what I did was that I used
a boiling water bath -- not a hot water bath.

Wine Jelly

Yield: approximately 4 eight-ounce jars

2 cups robust wine
3 cups sugar
1 pouch (3 ounces) liquid pectin

Wash and sterilize 4 eight-ounce jars.

Mix wine and sugar in the top of a double boiler. (If a double boiler
is not available, put wine and sugar in a medium saucepan and place into
a larger pan partly filled with boiling water.)

Stir the mixture occasionally until sugar is dissolved and the wine is
very hot. Remove top of double boiler from heat and stir in pectin.

Pour the jelly into jars, screw on lids, and process in a hot water bath
for 5 minutes.

My notes: I used cheap cherry wine and the result was wonderful. Also,
I processed in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Don's notes: This group is pretty good for lots of fruit type stuff.
If anyone else does any preserving, this is a good group to check out.
