Fannie Taylor Harris' Wine Jelly is a classic American dessert that has been enjoyed by families for generations. It was originally created by Fannie Taylor Harris, who lived in Savannah, Georgia in the early 1900s. This jelly is unique in that it is made with blackberry wine and freshly squeezed lemon juice, which gives it a bright and refreshing flavor. It is the perfect dessert to serve at summer picnics, barbecues, or any time you want to impress your guests with a homemade treat.
