How to Make Port Wine Jelly

  1. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of rapidly boiling water (double boiler), combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup ruby port wine.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat.
  4. Quickly whisk in 1/2 bottle (approximately 3 ounces) of liquid pectin. Stir vigorously for 1 minute to ensure complete mixing.
  5. Immediately pour the hot jelly into sterilized 8-ounce jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  7. Seal the jars according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually using a water bath canning method for long-term storage).
  8. Allow the jars to cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check the seals to ensure they are airtight.
