  Moon-Shine Jelly Recipe

  1 apple

  1 cup water

  1/3 cup powdered pectin

  1 bottle of your favorite chardonnay

  1 cup brown sugar

  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  5 cups sugar

  Cut up the apple and then chop in a blender until fine; then, in a large saucepan, combine water with pectin and bring to a boil, stirring slowly. Add the chopped apple and chardonnay and bring to a boil. Continue to stir the mixture so it doesn’t burn. Add brown sugar and nutmeg, stirring slowly as you add these ingredients. Bring the mixture back to a boil and slowly stir in the sugar. Return to a boil for one minute. Remove from heat and skim off any foam from the top.

  Makes between 7 and 8 eight-ounce mason jars

  Acknowledgments

  When I write, I’m inspired by family, friends, fans, and life in general. I’d like to thank my loyal supporters who follow me on social media and take time to email me and share my work with your friends. You inspire me on a daily basis.

  If you follow me on Facebook, then you probably know how much I love writing about the Cape, and that makes writing about the Seaside gang all the more fun. You probably also know that I often turn to fans to help me come up with names of characters, shops, and even streets. I’ve also been known to create a story line or two based on fans, which is always incredibly fun. I’d like to thank each and every one of you, because while I might not choose your suggestion today, you never know what tomorrow will hold. I hope you continue to enjoy our fun chats, sexy photos, and quirky comments.

  A special thank you goes to Nina Lane for our brainstorming sessions. I truly appreciate our hero-making chats.

  I’d like to thank my editorial team for their meticulous attention to detail and patience. My work shines because they care. Kristen, Penina, Jenna, Juliette, Marlene, and Lynn, thank you for all you do for me and our readers.

  As always, major gratitude goes to my own true-life hunky hero, Les, and my children, who are my fans, my friends, and often, my biggest cheerleaders. Thank you, guys. I couldn’t create such wonderful worlds without your support.
