- Mix sauce together. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine jelly, wine, and basil, whisking for about 5 minutes or until pepper jelly melts. Remove from heat, and let mixture cool completely.
- Pour ¾ cup pepper jelly mixture into a large zip-top plastic freezer bag and reserve remaining mixture; add pork burgers to bag and coat with marinade. Seal and let marinate for 1½ to 2 hours in refrigerator.
- Cook burgers either on a stove top or grill 5 to 6 minutes per side on med-high heat. Turn just once and do not mash this will press the juices and flavor out.
