A delightful and elegant jelly bursting with the fresh flavors of strawberries and the effervescence of Champagne, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Fresh Strawberries, hulled and mashed
- 2 cups Champagne or Sparkling Wine
- 3 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 package Pectin
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Start by washing and hulking your strawberries, then roughly mash them in a large bowl.
- Cook the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, Champagne, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir it all together over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil.
- Add Pectin: Once boiling, stir in the pectin. Keep stirring while it continues to boil for about one minute.
- Test the Gel: To check if your jelly is ready, drop a spoonful onto a chilled plate. If it wrinkles and holds its shape, it’s ready for canning.
- Canning: Sterilize your jars by placing them in boiling water for ten minutes. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into the jars, leaving about half an inch of headspace.
- Cooling: Place the jars upside down for about five minutes, then turn them back upright. Let them cool completely before storing.

Taste along the way; feel free to adjust the sweetness or acidity to suit your palate.
