Description

Indulge in this easy homemade Dark Chocolate Strawberry Jam recipe. It’s a budget-friendly, decadent treat that elevates toast, pancakes, and yogurt with its rich chocolate and sweet strawberry flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Strawberries (fresh or frozen, hulled and chopped)
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate (high-quality, chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 cup Sugar (adjust based on strawberry ripeness)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Pectin (optional, for thicker consistency)

Instructions

  1. Wash strawberries thoroughly, hull, and chop into small pieces.
  2. Combine strawberries and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves and strawberries release juices (about 5 minutes).
  3. Mash softened strawberries to your desired consistency with a potato masher or fork. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and cocoa powder until completely smooth.
  5. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until the chocolate is melted and incorporated.
  6. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing well. Simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the jam to thicken slightly.
  7. If a thicker consistency is desired, stir in the optional pectin. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  8. Remove from heat and let the Dark Chocolate Strawberry Jam cool slightly. Transfer to clean, sterilized jars using a funnel. Seal tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • Choose high-quality dark chocolate for the richest taste.
  • Ensure all jars and utensils are clean to prevent spoilage and extend shelf life.
  • For a smoother jam, blend the mixture before adding chocolate.
  • Stir frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and burning.
