Orange Chablis Jelly

Submitted by Sherrybeth

"This came from an older lady who lived near us about 20 years ago. She would make this and give it to all of her neighbors for Christmas. It is very good, has a pretty color and she was kind enough to give me the recipe before she died. I'm posting it so I don't lose it..again!"
