How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Jam Canning Recipe
- Crush 6 cups of fresh or frozen raspberries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. If using frozen, use both liquid and solids.
- Ensure your canning equipment is meticulously clean. Place 7 pint or half-pint jars on a rack in a boiling water canner.
- Fill the canner with water, adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to prevent mineral buildup. Bring to a boil while preparing the jam.
- Boil the jars for 10 minutes to sterilize them. Reduce heat to keep jars hot.
- Keep a kettle of hot water handy, and a saucepan of boiling water for lids and rings.
- In a 6-8 quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the crushed raspberries and 12 ounces of finely chopped dark chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, measure 6 cups of granulated sugar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the measured sugar with 1 package (1.75 oz) of liquid pectin.
- Stir the pectin-sugar mixture into the raspberry-chocolate mixture in the saucepan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Skim off any foam.
- Ladle the hot jam into the hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
- Remove jars to a towel-lined surface, invert for 10 minutes, and let cool completely.
- Once cool, label the jars and store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
