Hot wine jelly

60 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Crushed Dried Hot Peppers
2 cups Sweet Red Wine
3 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Yellow Food Color
¾ teaspoon Red Food Color
6 ounces Liquid Pectin

Directions

Stir peppers into wine. Cover and let stand at least 3 hours. While peppers are marinating, prepare jars (see note). String wine into 3-quart saucepan; stir in sugar and food colors.

Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Immedately stir in pectin; skim off foam. Fill jars and seal with paraffin. Serve as an accompaniment to meat.

NOTE: To prepare jars, place clean jelly jars with folded cloth on bottom. Cover with hot (not boiling) water and heat to boiling. Boil gently 15 minutes; keep jars in hot water until ready to use. When ready to fill, remove jars from water and drain.
