Chewy Wine Shots

These adult Jello treats are great for parties.


We started going crazy with shapes. Just use your own imagination and cookie cutters! The original recipe came from Michael Smith of the Chef at Home show, one of my favorites from Canada.

We used only red and white wine. The basic recipe is 3 envelopes of gelatin and 1 cup of sugar per bottle of wine.

I used a bottle of Soft Rose from Oliver Winery near Bloomington, Indiana, and a bottle of Seyval Blanc from the Buck Creek Winery just east of Indianapolis.

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine
• 1 bottle (750 ml) white wine
• 1 bottle (750 ml) pink zinfadel
• 9 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
• 3 cups sugar or Splenda

1. Pour each bottle of wine into a separate saucepan.

2. Add the sugar and 3 envelopes of gelatin. Stir over low heat until the sugar and gelatin dissolve.

3. Pour each mixture into a separate, lightly oiled, 8" x 8" pan and place in the fridge until set.

4. To remove jello from the pan, slide a knife around the edges of the pan. Then, dip the pan into warm water and invert.

5. Cut into shapes and serve.
