Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 ounce pectin
  • 2 lemon zest strips
  • 1/2 bottle of prosecco or champagne
Directions
  1. Mix sugar and pectin. In a pot, combine all ingredients. On low flame, slowly bring pot to a boil and stir frequently. Simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.
  2. When the prosecco is warm (not hot, not cold) place in a CO2 canister with a new cartridge. At this point, get a container that holds ice water and a wide bottomed pan to fit inside. Slowly release the CO2 pressure into the cold pan. This will "arrest" the bubbles into the gel. Refrigerate.
  3. If you do not have a CO2 canister, refrigerate when the preserves have cooled to room temperature.
