How to make Sauterne jelly/jello:

At the Victorian dinner table jellies were much valued for their clarity and elaborate moulding and relied entirely on powdered gelatin with either an alcohol or a fruit flavor. As with this recipe the jelly was sometimes chopped and uses as a garnish for other dishes.
