“Cherry in chocolate” is my favorite among such preparations! Spicy jam with cherry sourness is so reminiscent of the candy of the same name. A self-sufficient delicacy and delicious topping for various desserts. Suitable for layering cakes and filling in sweet pastries.
Ingredients
- Cherry (pitted) – 1 kg
- Sugar - 600 g
- Cocoa - 1 tbsp.l .
- Bitter chocolate - 100 g
- Cognac - 50 ml
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Sort the cherry, rinse, if necessary, remove the seeds. Cover the berries with sugar and leave for 1 hour.
Bring the cherries and sugar to a boil over high heat, then cook over low heat, stirring, for 40 minutes. Do not forget to remove the foam!
Combine cocoa and cognac, stir until smooth.
After the specified time, add crushed bitter chocolate and cocoa with cognac to the boiling berries. Stir until smooth, increase the heat and boil everything together for another 10 minutes.
Pour the hot jam into pre-prepared sterile jars, seal tightly and cool upside down. I advise you to store the cooled jam in the refrigerator.
