ROSEMARY MINT WINE JELLY

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender blend together the mint, the rosemary, and 1 cup of the wine until the herbs are chopped fine and transfer the mixture to a bowl. In a small saucepan bring the remaining 1 cup wine to a boil, add it to the herb mixture, and let the herb mixture stand, covered, for 45 minutes. Strain the herb mixture through a sieve lined with several layers of rinsed and squeezed cheesecloth set over a large measuring cup, pressing hard on the solids,and add 1/4 cup of the lemon juice. (There should be exactly 2 cups liquid; if there is less add enough of the additional lemon juice to measure 2 cups liquid.) Transfer the liquid to a kettle, stir in the sugar, stirring until the mixture is combined well, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the pectin quickly, bring the mixture again to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil it, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove the kettle from the heat, skim off any foam with a large spoon, and ladle the mixture immediately into 4 sterilized 1/2-pint Mason-type jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the tops. Wipe the rims with a dampened cloth and seal the jars with the lids. Invert the jars for 5 minutes and turn them upright. (Instead of being inverted, the jars may be put in a water bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle. Add enough hot water to the canner or kettle to cover the jars by 1 to 2 inches and bring it to a boil. Process the jars, covered, for 5 minutes, transfer them with tongs to a rack, and let them cool completely.) Store the jars in a cool, dark place.

RED-WINE MINT JELLY

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine wine and sugar and simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes to cook off some of the alcohol.
• In a large mixing bowl combine gelatin with 3 tablespoons of water to bloom the gelatin. Let stand for 5 minutes and stir. Pour hot red wine mixture into the bowl to combine with gelatin and whisk. Add the chopped shallot, peppercorns, mint leaves, and lemon juice.
• Allow to steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain out solids and pour into an oiled mold. Allow to set up overnight in the refrigerator. To serve, unmold onto a plate and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Garnish with some chopped fresh mint.

ROSEMARY JELLY

Steps:

• Roughly chop the apples without peeling or coring and place in a preserving pan with the water and rosemary.
• Gently simmer over a low heat for 45 minutes stiring occasionally until the fruit is soft and pulpy.
• Add the vinegar and boil for a further 5 minutes.
• Spoon out the mix into a jelly bag suspended over a large bowl and leave for at least 12 hours allowing all the juices to drain from the pulp. Don't be tempted to squeeze the pulp to get more juice as this will make the finished jelly cloudy.
• Throw away the remaining pulp in the jelly bag. Measure the amount of juice extract and return to the pan with 450g of Sugar for each 600ml (1 Pint)
• Stir over a gentle heat until all the sugar dissolved, then boil rapidly for about 10 minutes.
• Once setting point has been reached skim any foam from the surface, stir in the chopped Rosemary pot and cover into sterile jars.

GRAPE & ROSEMARY JELLY

Steps:

• Tip the grapes into a pan with the wine and rosemary. Add water to cover the grapes. Add the lemon zest and bring slowly to the boil, stirring. Cover and simmer for 5 mins, then mash the grapes using a potato masher. Cook for a further 10 mins, mashing a few more times to crush the grapes.
• Tip the grape mixture into a jelly bag or muslin-lined colander and leave to drip through for at least a couple of hours, or overnight if there's time.
• Put 3 saucers in the freezer. Measure the juice (you will need 600ml) and return it to the pan. Add the sugar and lemon juice, and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar and skimming off any scum that rises to the surface using a slotted spoon. When the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat and boil hard until setting point is reached. This should take about 5-10 mins. To test for set, remove the jelly from the heat and spoon a little onto one of the cold saucers. Push with a finger; if it wrinkles, it is ready. If not, boil for a min or so more and test again.
• Pot the jelly into small sterilised jars (see tip, below), seal and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
