Pinot Noir Wine Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Sterilize jelly jars and lids by boiling them for 10 minutes. Keep warm on a towel-lined tray in the oven on 200°F.
• 2. Measure exact amount of wine into a medium stockpot. I added 1/2 cup grape juice to mine so I would have the full 2 1/2 cups. Stir in the Sure-Jell fruit pectin and bring mixture to a full rolling boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Then stir sugar into the mixture and return to a full rolling boil. Boil exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat.
• 3. Ladle immediately into the prepared jars, filling each to within 1/4-inch of the top. Wipe jar rims and threads with a clean damp paper towel or cloth. Cover with lids and screw on the bands.
• 4. To make these jars shelf-safe, process them in a boiling water bath in a canner, on a rack and covered by at least 1-2 inches of water. Process for 5 minutes. Remove jars and place on a towel to cool. Check for seals and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Refrigerate any jars that did not form a complete seal, and use within a few weeks.
• 5. Since this makes such a small amount, I seldom use a water bath process. I just put a couple of the jars in the refrigerator for immediate use, and place the rest in the freezer. It never seems to affect the quality when thawed.

Steps:

• 1. Bring 1 1/4 cups of the wine to a boil in a small saucepan turn heat to med. Cook until reduced to 1/3 cup about 15 to 20 minutes.
• 2. Add remaining wine and sugar to large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the sure gel, lemon juice and butter. Return to a vigorous boil stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the reduced wine. Let cool a bit and ladle into sterilized jars leaving a 1 inch head space in each jar.
• 3. Place in a boiling water bath with the water at least 1 inch above the jars. Let jars sit in water bath for 15 minutes. Remove and let sit on counter until all are sealed.
• 4. The directions are the same with either red or white wine

Steps:

• Combine wine, lemon juice, and pectin in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam off top, if necessary.
• Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tighten 2 piece lids. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

Steps:

• Combine allspice, cloves and peppercorns in a spice grinder or coffee grinder and pulse until finely ground.
• In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, wine, brown sugar, honey, orange juice, orange zest, rosemary, cinnamon stick and ground spices.
• With the tip of a paring knife, split vanilla pod lengthwise. Use the back of the knife to scrape seeds from pod. Add seeds and pod to pot.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring often, until cranberries have burst and liquid thickens slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and discard zest, rosemary sprigs, cinnamon stick and vanilla pod. Transfer mixture to a bowl and let cool.
