    Add pectin is sort-of listed twice...so I'll boil only the sugar, wine & butter, then remove from heat and add the pectin. Not sure if I'll get a response as this post seems older, but I'll post my results after I make a batch. Can't wait to try it! Using a bottle of Coppola merlot.

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

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