White Wine Jelly

Ingredients

• 1 cup white wine (A Riesling will be my choice)

• 1 cup water

   Put 1/2 cup water into a sml saucepan, add gelatin & allow to soak for a few minutes.

3. 3

   Continue stirring till the sugar dissolves & remove the pan from the heat.

4. 4

   Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water & the wine. Refrigerate till the mixture develops a syrup consistency.

   SERVING SUGGESTIONS: For brunch, serve w/scones, bagels or English muffins. As a salad course, serve atop greens & use a poppy seed or other complimentary dressing. As a dessert, serve w/cheese & crackers -- or -- baguette slices topped w/cheese of choice & the jelly as a dessert bruschetta. A sml dish of choc mints would make a nice combo w/either choice.

   NOTE: IMO, the fruits used are suggestions & others can be subbed. I will prob use a combo of green & red grapes in place of the cherries. Kiwi segments could also be used.
