Fall in Alaska and I have an abundance of rhubarb! We had some left over Merlot in the frig that no one liked and I thought it would be interesting to mix the two...WOW! It came out great! I can't wait to make more now!

    Add the sugar and bring to a rolling boil (boils even when stirred)stirring occasionally.

    Add pectin and bring back to a boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute.

    Make sure the lips are clean and place warm canning lids. Secure the band on each jar and invert the jars on a counter - cover with a towel to keep warm. In about an hour you can turn them right side up again. You should hear the plinking of the jars sealing soon after. Enjoy!!
