Champagne Jelly Jello Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine sugar and Champagne. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring often. Stir in pectin. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly., Remove from the heat; skim off foam if necessary. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight., Place the jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

Steps:

• Sterilize 5 half-pint jars. Set aside.
• Pour the champagne into a large pot, and stir in sugar and vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil, and stir in the pectin. Boil hard for one minute while stirring vigorously. Remove from heat, and ladle into sterile jars to within 1/2 inch of the top.
• Wipe rims with a clean dry cloth, and seal with lids. Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. The jelly may take a few days to set.

Steps:

• Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl and set an 8-cup glass spouted measuring cup inside of it. Put eight 8-ounce Champagne flutes in the refrigerator to chill.
• Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over 2 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Let sit until the gelatin softens (it will become translucent), about 5 minutes. Add the sugar then cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until the sugar and gelatin dissolve completely, about 5 minutes (don't let the liquid come to a boil). Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared measuring cup over the ice bath, stirring the mixture a few times until it feels lukewarm. Stir in the sparkling wine and grape juice. Pour 1/2 cup of the sparkling wine mixture into a small bowl then neatly pour the remaining mixture into the 8 flutes.
• Refrigerate the flutes and the reserved mixture in the bowl for 30 minutes (the jelly will be lightly thickened). Gently push a raspberry down into the center of each flute with a skewer, letting some gelatin cover it, until the raspberry is held in place.
• Add the half-and-half to the reserved gelatin mixture in the bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture looks like foam. Spoon the foam on top of each flute of jelly. Return the flutes to the refrigerator and chill until the gelatin sets completely, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Put water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatine powder over, stir, set aside for 5 minutes.
• Put the wine and sugar in a medium saucepan and stir over a medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and then add the gelatine mix and then stir until the gelatine dissolves.
• Pour into a heatproof jug and set aside for 15 minutes to cool and put in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
• Pour mixture into glasses and put in the fridge for 6 hours or until jelly/jello is set.
• Combine the grapes and passionfruit pulp and divide between the glasses and serve.
• NOTE - for a alcohol free version, replace the sparkling wine with alcohol removed sparkling white wine (we can get that in our supermarkets here in Australia).
