Cranberry Port Jelly

Holiday Favorite Recipes | 0 comments

I saw a recipe in Everyday With Rachel Ray magazine for a cranberry port gelatin dish made in a jelly mold. This gave me the idea of making a jelly to use up some of the port wine I had made a couple years ago at the wine making shop. It turned out great!
