I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Cabernet Jelly

Cabarnet Jelly...not your breakfast scone jelly!


Better served with a strong cheddar as an appetizer or even alongside your roast turkey.

3  1/4 cups cabernet
3  1/4 cups sugar
3 oz (85 ml pkg) liquid pectin
3 tbsps lemon juice
1-4 cloves, optional

Tie your cloves (doesn't this 1 clove look lonely!) in a piece of cheese cloth or a coffee filter. Combine wine, lemon juice, pectin and clove pouch in a large pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling remove the clove pouch and whisk in the sugar. Bring back up to a rapid boil for 2-3 minutes or until thermometer reads 220 F which may take a little longer.


Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Pour into sterilized jars. Wipe rims clean and seal.



Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Check seals after 24 hours. If not sealed store in refrigerator.



Makes 10-125ml (4 oz) jars.
