Fannie Taylor Harris' Wine Jelly

This recipe I am almost certain has English roots. The use of Blackberry wine is essentially Southern. I would guess the original called for sherry or port. Since the creator of this version was a good family friend I have eaten it many times in the past at Christmas.
