I had 3-1/2 cups of concord grape juice, and just happened to have a
half cup of red wine (probably shiraz, but what would I know?) in the
freezer.

Will that make any difference in the outcome of my jelly besides
taste? It's the Ball liquid pectin recipe that calls for 4 cups juice
and 7 cups sugar.

TIA

Half a cup? That's not much. I'd try it.

Thanks. After I made the second batch, I found another half gallon of
grape juice in yet another jar in my fridge. Now I've got to label
each one. An embarrassment of riches.
