WINE JELLY 
2 c. wine (red, white, etc.)
3 1/2 c. sugar
1 pouch Certo pectin
Grated wax for preserves

Sterilize by boiling container(s) to be used; set aside to drain.

Mix wine and sugar; bring to rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in pectin and return to full boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat; skim off foam with metal spoon. Fill jars or glasses immediately to 1/2 inch of top. Wipe tops clean of jelly. Sprinkle with grated wax (fill top). Place jars or glasses in pan with 1 inch of water and into 350 degree oven until wax melts. Remove from oven and let cool. (May be stored in any jar or glass with wax method.) Yield 3 2/3 cups.

These make great Christmas gifts if poured into wine glasses and tied with a ribbon.
