Chocolate Strawberry Sauce Made for Water Bath Canning

The only word to describe this homemade canned ice cream topping is yummy….decadent….wicked-good….heavenly delicious….divinely sweet.. Okay, that was way more then one adjective. I needed many more words to describe how wonderful this canned chocolate and fruit recipe really is. How could I pick just one word. It is a great favorite among the children and adults in this family.
I processed this recipe in four ounce jelly jars unlike what the original recipe states. I wanted smaller jars because you don’t need a lot of this topping to get the punch of sweet chocolate and strawberries or raspberries. A small jar goes a long way but you can process this recipe in 8 oz. jelly jars if you wish.
I personally love this topping on top of vanilla ice cream or as part as a banana split sundae, plain and sweet cheesecake slices, and sometimes on a waffle or funnel cake. Oh so good!

In a bowl, combine cocoa powder and pectin and mix together. Set aside.
In a large stock pot, combine fruit and lemon juice together and heat over medium heat. Begin to crush fruit further as it heats and becomes easier and breaks into smaller pieces.
Stir in cocoa and pectin mixture into strawberries. Bring to a boil.
Pour in sugar, stir and bring back to a boil for one minute.

I just put my chocolate sauce in the canner and it is soooo good! Only problem is, what to do with a sore tongue from licking the spoon which was a little too hot. I am 66 and know better but I think it might be worth it. Thank you for the yummy recipe. This ones a keeper1
