Oh, mark this looks divine! Many thanks!


I love it for a "fancy" brunch with cream cheese and crackers or just on toast in the morning. Thanks for the comment!


WOW! this sounds soooo good! How many jars does it make?


I usually get 4-5 8oz. jars of jelly from this recipe. I also like to use the 4 oz. jars to give as gifts.


Absolutely fantastic....great idea for gifts...love it! very nice on some great bread..pw


When are you making the next batch? YUMMMMMMM! FIVE!! :+D

Wow, Mark - this sounds absolutely great. I have printed this beauty out and will be making it very soon. Brilliant offering, m'dear - thanks so much! :) vickie


I have a love of canning I got from my mom, and I like to find unique jelly and jam recipes to try. I will add this one to my to-do list. This sounds wonderful. I like your serving suggestions, too. I'm feeling 'beefy' today and I'm thinking a little would be good stirred into a pan sauce for roast beef. Mmmmmm - Natalie


Which merlot do you choose for this recipe? I don't want to use an expensive bottle to get great taste if I can just as easily use a less expensive one. Does it make a difference?
BTW- Love it!


YUMMS!! 55555! Added to group, Mark!! :)


Oh, I would love this with cream cheese and a cracker or two or three...my goodness. My husband loves merlot and I could see this topping a bit of brie and melted in a quesadilla.


The lovely Mrs. Chef has been on a canning binge. SHe tried a Riesling and Peach jelly following the basic recipe of 4c sugar to 3 cup wine and 1 pack liquid pectin. She added an additional packet for the peaches. It tastes great, but it is a bit loose. More of a sauce/glaze than a jelly. Any suggestions?
