Merlot Fine Wine Jelly

The Merlot grape is a close cousin to Cabernet Sauvignon, but it is lower in tannins and makes wines that mature faster and are softer in texture. Merlot Fine Wine Jelly is made with the Merlot Wine of Grande River Winery, Palisade, Colorado. Steve Smith and Naomi Sheppard-Smith of Grande River describe the full-bodied, award winning red wine: "raspberries, blackberries in the nose, smooth with a hint of chocolate in the taste." All of these delightful tastes are retained in the wine jelly that is made with only three ingredients--wine, minimal sugar, and pectin

Use in making marinades, sauces, and glazes for all kinds of beef (even hamburger!), lamb, pork, duck, and stronger flavored game meats; as a condiment with with all kinds of meat; pair with patés, semi-soft cheeses such as Roquefort and Gorgonzola, and firm cheeses such as Provolone and Romano; also pairs well with the sharp, tangy taste of aged cheeses (Cheddar, Gruyere, mature Gouda, Blue Cheese) on crackers; serve over ice cream (wine jelly sundaes are a personal favorite!) and with desserts; use as a filling for a decadent chocolate cake.
