Red Wine Strawberry Jam Recipes

SPICY STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Soak the strawberries in red wine for 10 minutes, then transfer to a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. As soon as it starts to boil, add the ginger, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, chile pepper, red pepper flakes, apple cider vinegar and salt. Boil over medium heat, stirring every 10 minutes, until the preserve thickens.
• Remove the chile pepper and cinnamon stick from the preserves. Ladle into clean 1/2 pint jars, wipe rims with a clean cloth or paper towel, and seal with new lids. Store in the refrigerator.

WINE JELLY

Steps:

• 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.
• Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Tighten 2 piece lids. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

RED WINE STRAWBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Mix ingredients in non-aluminum pan. Be sure pan is no more than half full. Bring mixture to boil, but not too high a heat so that it does not boil over and make mess. While berries are cooking down, clean and sterilize your jars and lids. Use 3-4 pt.jars, depending on how much natural pectin is in berries. While berries are cooking, put a plate in refrigerator. Jam is done when small amount (1/2 tsp.) of it sets up on cold plate to desired thickness (it will drop off spoon instead of dripping off it). Pour jam into jars 1/4 in. from top, carefully wipe any spills away from top and threads, put 2-piece lid on tightly, and boil in water bath (covered by 2 in. water above top of jar) for 10 minutes. Button should depress when they cool. If not, they must be refrigerated.
