Four Bottles of Wine before Noon!

I'd been in the kitchen all morning making jelly.  My husband came in from working outside and said, "Wow!  It looks like you're an alcoholic!  I had 4 empty wine bottles lined up on the kitchen counter.  Good news is, I didn't drink them.  I've been making wine jelly.  I'm gearing up for the Wine Fest that will be in Mound City on October 8, from noon to 8 p.m.  That's a Saturday and I hope the weather is as beautiful that day as it was for last year's Wine Fest.

This morning I made 2 batches of chardonnay wine jelly, 1 batch of rose wine jelly, and 1 batch of merlot wine jelly.  They are all so pretty!  They are good served on crackers with cream cheese.  They are a pretty appetizer to serve when you have a party, as is the jalapeno pepper jelly.

When I finished making jelly, I made a couple of apple pies.  I made apple pies last week and this week for farmers' market.  All 7 sold quickly and we had not had any ourselves, so I decided today it is our turn.  I need to end this now so I can go eat some, topped with ice cream, of course!
