How to Make Champagne Jelly

  1. In a large saucepan, thoroughly whisk together the powdered pectin and cold water until no lumps remain. Let stand for 1 minute to allow the pectin to fully hydrate.
  2. Bring the pectin mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 1 minute, continuing to stir vigorously.
  3. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the chilled champagne and granulated sugar, stirring constantly to combine.
  4. Continue to stir gently and consistently, keeping the mixture just below a simmer. Do not let it boil rapidly. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. The mixture will slightly thicken.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface using a metal spoon.
  6. Quickly pour the hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  7. Immediately seal the jars with 1/8-inch hot paraffin wax or new canning lids. Ensure a proper seal to prevent spoilage.
  8. Allow the jelly to cool completely before serving or storing. Refrigerate for optimal flavor and texture.
  9. Serve chilled with poultry, meat, or as a unique accompaniment to charcuterie boards. Enjoy!
