Homemade Wine Jelly
Every morning at ForFriends Inn begins with a hearty, 3-course breakfast including our homemade popovers with rosemary picked from our garden. Recently, Sandra introduced her Wine Jelly made with a reduction of the wines from the area.
Sandra’s creativity in the kitchen is well known and her wine jelly has been added to a long list of her recipes enjoyed by our guests. One of the fun notables of this recipe is the subtle essence of the wine when you first take a bite. It truly fits the theme here in wine country.
Does the wine used make a difference? Yes, it does. Cabs definitely have more an heartier, earthy (Dave says ‘Bordeaux-y) nuance whereas Syrahs are less hearty but sweeter. We’d love to hear from our guests who try this recipe, especially with full bodied whites such as Viognier or Chardonnay.
Enjoy!
