Description
A luxurious jam blending tart raspberries with rich dark chocolate for a fruity and indulgent preserve. Perfect on toast, ice cream, pastries, or cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 800 g raspberries, washed and dried
- 700 g granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 70 g dark chocolate (70% or higher cocoa solids), roughly chopped
Instructions
- Sterilize jars by washing, rinsing, and placing in a 275°F (135°C) oven for 10 minutes. Keep warm until use.
- In a large saucepan, cook raspberries and lemon juice over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until softened and juice released.
- Stir in sugar until dissolved, then increase heat to bring to a rolling boil.
- Boil 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test set by dropping a small amount on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth, turning jam glossy and deeply colored.
- Pour hot jam into warm jars, leaving a small gap at top. Seal immediately and invert jars for 2 minutes, then return upright to cool.
- Store in a cool, dark place up to 6 months. Refrigerate after opening, use within 2–3 weeks.
Notes
Use high-quality (70%+) chocolate for best flavor depth.
Taste before boiling to adjust sweetness, if needed.
Use wide pans to shorten boiling time and preserve freshness.
Avoid overboiling to maintain bright, fruity flavor.
Add chocolate off heat to keep texture silky and smooth.
