  • Process filled jars in a boiling-water canner 5 minutes (start timing when water returns to boiling). Remove jars from canner; cool on wire racks.

Place 12 broken cardamom pods and 6 orange peel strips in a double thickness of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth and tie closed with 100-percent-cotton kitchen string. Add the bundle to the wine with the pectin. Remove and discard the bundle before filling jars.
