Classic Blueberry Merlot Jelly Recipe

How to make it

---

• Sterilize jars and rings before starting your jelly mixture in the pan.
• 1. Pour entire bottle of wine into a stainless pan. Use wooden spoon to stir throughout process.
• 2. Pour in lemon juice.
• 3. While stirring, pour in Sure-Jel, making sure not to let this clump.
• 4. When mixture starts to warm, put butter into mixture.
• 5. Bring all ingredients to a rolling boil and have sugar pre measured and handy.
• 6. When ingredients in pan are at a rolling boil, pour in sugar a little at a time taking care not to let clump, stirring constantly.
• 7. After adding sugar, bring mixture to a rolling boil again.
• 8. Once this hits a rolling boil and can't be stirred down, time one minute.
• 9. After 1 minute has elapsed, pour mixture into sterilized canning jars and cap off with canning lids and rings.
• 10. Process these jars in a hot water bath (pre-boiled water), upside down for 5 minutes. This will complete the seal. Let set up at least overnight, but can be consumed by the next day, better after 7 days. This will keep in the cupboard for months, but as soon as you open it, refrigerate it. This can be used to make sauces, marinades, dips, heck I have even eaten it on ice cream...Yum!!!!!
