2 hrs
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath and place them on a towel-lined surface to cool completely. As the jars cool, you should hear a 'pop' sound as the lids seal. (2 hours)
For the best flavor, use a wine you genuinely enjoy drinking. The flavor of the wine will be concentrated in the jelly.
Sterilize your jars and lids properly to ensure a safe and shelf-stable product. This recipe is perfect for water bath canning.
If you don't have a boiling water bath canner, you can use a large stockpot with a rack in the bottom to keep the jars from sitting directly on the heat.
The jelly may appear thin when it's hot, but it will thicken as it cools. Don't be tempted to overcook it.
To test the set of the jelly, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and refrigerate for a minute. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.

May 30, 2025I reduced the sugar slightly, and it was still delicious. This is a great base recipe to experiment with different wines and flavors.

Aug 29, 2024So easy to make, and a real showstopper on a cheese board. I used a sparkling rosé, which added a lovely effervescence.
