Malinda's Notes:

We make our own wine and had just a bit that we could not age. So I made Zinfan-Jelly and Coq Au Vin...this is the recipe for Zinfan-jelly. The photo was taken a bit too soon - before the jelly had set!

 

Directions

1
Combine wine, lemon juice, and pectin in a large saucepot. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam off top, if necessary.
2
Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tighten 2 piece lids. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.
3
Serve over, cream cheese, cheddar cheese. Can be spread directly on crackers or toast!!

Cheryl:

We started to make wine using kits now we buy grapes crush, press and ferment. We use no chemicles no yeast NOTHING but the grape juice. This year we bought 1400 pounds of grapes and ended up with 600+ bottles. Now we dont drink all of that we have a group of friends that make it with us!! Its alot of fun!

Sounds like alot of fun! Do you usually do this in the summer months? Do you use one type of grape, or blend? Sounds like a great idea for when the kids visit in the summer! Also, do you use a food distributor to get the best price, or local growers?

We buy the grapes from a wholesale fruit distrbutor here in RI they are trucked in from CA usually they arrive the last week of Sept to the first week in Oct. We blend Zin and Cab..but in 2009 we had to get another type of grape becasue they had sold out...here is a link to the photos from 2009 picasaweb.google.com/TheRed...
