MULLED WINE JELLY CANDIES

I make the mulled red wine version for the winter holidays, and a white wine variation in spring and summer.-Jennifer Mack, Pensacola, Florida

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a good-quality mulled wine. A homemade mulled wine will give the candies a more intense flavor than a store-bought one.
- If you don't have any mulled wine, you can make your own by simmering red wine with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. You can also add some orange peel or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- Be sure to let the mulled wine cool completely before adding it to the gelatin mixture. If the wine is too hot, it will melt the gelatin and the candies will not set properly.
- If you want to make the candies even more festive, you can add some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or spices to the gelatin mixture before pouring it into the molds.
- Once the candies have set, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Mulled wine jelly candies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these candies that are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
