Steps:
- Bring boiling-water canner, half-full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
- Measure wine into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly.
- Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
- Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Tips:
- Make sure to use a good quality red wine for the best flavor.
- If you don't have any cinnamon sticks, you can use ground cinnamon instead. Just add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the pot when you add the wine.
- You can also add other spices to the pot, such as cloves, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Be careful not to overcook the jelly. It should be slightly thickened, but still pourable.
- If you want to make the jelly ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Mulled wine jelly candies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover mulled wine. So next time you have a glass of mulled wine, be sure to save some for these delicious candies.
