Does anyone know how much wine would raise the acidity like 2tbs of lemon juice? (sounds much better)

Well I suppose you could drink 2tbs of lemon juice and then keep drinking wine til you get the same taste. Of course you might not be able to stop at the right level of acidity.

or remember what you were using the wine for.


Seriously, I made a cranberry wine jelly and you can taste the wine. I think I may have added to much, but my point being the wine taste might be over powering in what ever you're making when you reach the required acidity.

I got 6 pints of watermelon jelly done tonight. I didn't use pectin and cooked it to 220. It set fine.

10 pints of peach preserves from a 1/4 bushel of Hill Country peaches I got in Fredericksburg. And tomorrow going to try pear jam (My sister's tree went crazy this year). I might throw a few black plums into the pears for a pretty color.
