Black currant jam with chocolate is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that combines the tartness of black currants with the sweetness of chocolate. Here’s a simple recipe to make this jam:

Ingredients:

• 4 cups black currants, washed and stemmed
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 oz. dark chocolate, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Combine black currants, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a large pot. Stir well to combine.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the berries have broken down.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the jam until smooth.
4. Add the chopped chocolate to the warm jam and stir until the chocolate is melted and well combined.
5. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars and let it cool to room temperature before sealing the jars.
6. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to a month.
