Strawberry Riesling Jam

I found this in the August 2014 issue of Cooking Light.  They call it "Hands Free Jam".  This sounds fantastic and while we're past the peak of strawberry season, I am sure we can come up with something good.

2lbs. very ripe strawberries
1 C. sugar
1/2 C. riesling wine
1 medium peeled Macintosh apple, grated
1 1.75oz. box Sure-Jell pectin for less or no sugar recipes
1 rosemary sprig

Combine first 5 ingredients in a 6 quart slow cooker.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Mash the fruit into a chunky puree with a potato masher.  Increase heat to high; cook, uncovered for 4 hours.  Turn off heat, and nestle rosemary sprig into fruit mixture; let stand 1 hour.  Remove and discard the rosemary and any loose needles.  Place jam in a bowl; cover and 8 hours.  Store, refrigerated, for up to 3 weeks.
