A good wine jelly starts with a good wine. This jelly is rich and complex with flavors of ripe cherry, cassis, and black plums set off by the spicy heat of black pepper. Perfect with chevre and crackers for easy bites.
At Three Little Figs in Portland, Oregon, their goal is to revive the age old art of preserving by giving their products new and exciting flavor profiles while honoring traditional cooking methods. Locally sourced and globally inspired they begin with the hand cutting of organic produce and patiently cook each batch in copper pots which yield no more than 18 jars per kettle. Their preserves are artisanal in the truest sense of the word. They also pay special consideration to where their ingredients come from. Sourcing their ingredients so close to their kitchen allows for fruit to fully ripen on the vine or tree as it should. They also search high and low for the best spices, vinegars, and of course BOOZE. They cook with love, and it shows.
INGREDIENTS: Cabernet Sauvignon wine, organic cane sugar, fresh lemon juice, natural fruit pectin, black crushed peppercorns.
