What is wine Jelly? Obviously you would use wine, But what kind? Merlot? Reisling? Would I follow the same recipe as I do for my fruit jellies?

I made some Blackberry, Blueberry and Strawberry Jellies to mail out to people as Christmas gifts this year, along with a bottle or 2 of wine. Really makes a nice looking gift.

I had some of Masta's Jalapeño jelly and it was awesome and i really didnt think I was going to like it but as I always say, try it, ya never know!

All kinds of recipes OnLine... I used Merlot and Chardonnay....The Merlot was the best.

Harry,
I have never seen such huge lemons as the ones that grow here in Texas. A patient brings them to me about this time of year and they are as big as a large orange. They make the best lemonade in the world and I have a potted lemon tree growing from the seeds(very easy to grow). I know that what you have made must be excellent!!!
