How to Make Chocolate Cherry Jam
- Pit and chop 4 cups of fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen, do not thaw.
- Crush the cherries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time, using a potato masher or food processor. If using frozen cherries, include any released juices.
- Measure 6 cups of crushed cherry mixture into a 6- or 8-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add the chopped 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate to the saucepan.
- In a separate bowl, measure 7 cups of granulated sugar.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the measured sugar with the powdered pectin. Mix well.
- Stir the pectin-sugar mixture into the cherry and chocolate mixture in the saucepan.
- Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat.
- Skim off any foam from the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized pint or half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes.
