Sauternes and Sage Jelly

3.8

(6)

We ran many jelly recipes in the 1940s, but this one impressed us the most. Sophisticated and subtle, it makes a light, delicious alternative not only to the shocking-green mint jelly that often accompanies lamb but even to gravy: Try it with any roasted or grilled meat. It's also an indispensable condiment for blue cheese.

Cooks' notes:

· Be sure to check the expiration date on your pectin to ensure freshness. · Let jelly stand in jars at least 1 day for flavors to develop. · Jelly keeps in sealed jars in a cool dark place 5 to 6 months.
