I have made this jelly for holiday gifts for years. This is really a nice, basic recipe that takes very well to experimentation. I have used many different kinds of wines. Remember, if you don't like drinking it...you won't like eating it. So, use a good quality wine.

I didn't have port, but did have Ice Wine so that's what I used. This was certainly an easy recipe to follow and set up lovely, the taste is so good, I'll be using this in my holiday gift baskets and proud to give it.

Wonderful, goes well with some blue cheese and digestive biscuits, among other things.

This tastes wonderful and is SO easy to make! It's the first time I used pectin (liquid or otherwise) and when it was still liquid after 10 minutes of processing I got a little concerned. I shouldn't have worried though - once the jars cooled everything jelled perfectly. If you're a port lover, this jelly is a must!
