Orange sauterne jelly

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3½ cup Fresh orange juice, strained
1½ cup Good quality sauterne
1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
3¼ cup Sugar
1 Box powdered light fruit pectin
6 Sprigs fresh tarragon, optional

Directions

Servings: makes 6 - ½ pint jars Notes: Sauterne may be replaced by other white wines in this sweet tart jelly. The flavor lends itself for use both as a spread on breads and as a meat glaze. It can also be reheated for use as a dessert sauce on ice cream, sliced oranges, or berries.

Place orange juice, sauterne, and lemon juice in heavy saucepan. Mix together ¾ cup sugar and the powdered light fruit pectin. Add to wine mixture. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a hard boil. Stir in remaining sugar. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam with metal spoon. Immediately pour into hot sterilized jars, add optional sprigs of tarragon, if desired, and vacuum seal (hot water bath method, or can be refrigerated up to 6 weeks).
