• Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tighten 2 piece lids. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

RED WINE JELLY

Steps:

• Bring 1¼ cups wine to boil in small saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook until reduced to 1/3 cup; approximately15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Add remaining wine and sugar to a large saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Stir in pectin, lemon juice, and butter, and return to vigorous boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and stir in the reduced wine.
• Using hot, sterilized jelly jars, fill jars just to rim; add lid until just tight and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
• To be fully set, put in refrigerator to cool overnight. Jelly can be refrigerated for up to 1 month unless processing for longer storage.

RED-WINE MINT JELLY

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine wine and sugar and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.
• In a large mixing bowl combine gelatin with 3 tablespoons of water to bloom the gelatin. Let stand for 5 minutes and stir. Pour hot red wine mixture into the bowl to combine with gelatin and whisk. Add the chopped shallot, peppercorns, mint leaves, and lemon juice.
• Allow to steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain out solids and pour into an oiled mold. Allow to set up overnight in the refrigerator. To serve, unmold onto a plate and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with some chopped fresh mint.

ROSEMARY MINT WINE JELLY

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender blend together the mint, the rosemary, and 1 cup of the wine until the herbs are chopped fine and transfer the mixture to a bowl. In a small saucepan bring the remaining 1 cup wine to a boil, add it to the herb mixture, and let the herb mixture stand, covered, for 45 minutes. Strain the herb mixture through a sieve lined with several layers of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth set over a large measuring cup, pressing hard on the solids,and add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice. (There should be exactly 2 cups liquid; if there is less add enough of the additional lemon juice to measure 2 cups liquid.) Transfer the liquid to a kettle, stir in the sugar, stirring until the mixture is combined well, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the pectin quickly, bring the mixture again to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil it, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the kettle from the heat, skim off any foam with a large spoon, and ladle the mixture immediately into 4 sterilized 1/2-pint Mason-type jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the tops. Wipe the rims with a dampened cloth and seal the jars with the lids. Invert the jars for 5 minutes and turn them upright. (Instead of being inverted, the jars may be put in a water bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle. Add enough hot water to the canner or kettle to cover the jars by 1 to 2 inches and bring it to a boil. Process the jars, covered, for 5 minutes, transfer them with tongs to a rack, and let them cool completely.) Store the jars in a cool, dark place.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE WINE JELLY

Steps:

• * To roast garlic: Cut off top of bulb, drizzle with a little olive oil and wrap tightly in foil. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes until soft.
• Place wine and garlic in a large saucepan.
• Add sugar and mix well.
• Bring to a full boil on high heat and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and stir in pectin.
• Stir for a few minutes until pectin starts to set and the garlic is distributed evenly.
• Pour into warm, sterilized jars, filling up to 1/4 inch and seal with sterilized snap lids.

WINE AND HERB JELLY

Steps:

• Heat wine and thyme until simmering. Turn off heat, cover and steep for 30 minutes.
• Put a rack or a folded kitchen towel in a large pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Add 5 quarter-pint canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water until ready to be filled. (Alternatively, sterilize jars by running them through a dishwasher, leaving them inside until ready to fill.)
• Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add lids to soften rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in water until jars are filled.
• Remove thyme from wine. It will smell spicy and herbal. In a large heavy, nonreactive pot, stir together wine, lemon juice and pectin. Bring heat to medium high and stir often as mixture comes to a boil.
• When the mixture reaches a boil that cannot be stirred down, add sugar while stirring constantly.
• Heat jelly again to strong, hard boil to reduce the foam. Boil hard for exactly one minute to set the pectin. Turn off heat.
• Add butter and stir well to continue reducing the foam. Remove any remaining foam with a clean spoon.
• Ladle hot jelly into warm jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims clean with a damp towel. Place lids on jars, screw on rings and lower jars back into pot of boiling water. Return to full boil and boil jars for 5 minutes. Transfer jars to a folded towel and cool for 12 hours; you should hear them ping as they seal. Sealed jars are shelf stable for one year.
• Once cool, test seals by removing rings and lifting jars by their flat lids. If the lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a month, or reprocessed. (Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time jars are processed.) To reprocess, reheat to boiling then continue as before.
