1. Place flour on a pastry board and make a well in the center. Break eggs into well and beat lightly with a fork. Add granulated sugar, lemon zest, butter and wine. Mix thoroughly with eggs. Using your hands, gradually add flour starting from inside of well and work into a ball. 2. If using a food processor, place flour, eggs, sugar, lemon zest, and butter into processor. Using a metal blade, process until ingredients are blended. Add wine and process until dough forms a ball. Wrap dough in waxed paper and refrigerate 1 hour. 3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3-inch round scalloped pastry cutter or a glass, cut dough into circles. Put 1 heaping teaspoon of jam into each circle of dough. Fold each circle in half and press edges firmly. 4. Pour oil 2-inches deep in a large saucepan or deep-fryer. Heat oil to 375ºF or until a 1-inch cube of bread turns golden brown almost immediately. 5. Using a slotted spoon, lower tortelli a few at a time into hot oil. Turn tortelli. When golden brown on both sides, remove from oil with slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Arrange drained tortelli on a platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve hot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
