Ingredients

  • 1x500ml bottle of Chocolate safari imperial stout
  • 35ml cocoa vinegar (cider vinegar)
  • 300g granulated sugar
  • 30g pectin

Method

Prepare your water bath canner, and have 2 clean jars ready. 

Pour the beer into a large pan; it will foam, add the vinegar put on high heat. 

In a small bowl, mix half of the sugar with the pectin whisk to combine.

Add the sugar-pectin mixture to the beer, and whisk to dissolve and bring the beer to a boil.

Add the remaining sugar, and return to the boil.

When the mixture returns to a full rolling boil, cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat.

Skim away any foam from the surface.  Pour the jam into jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.

Run a clean spatula around  the insides of the jars to release any trapped air.

Wipe the rims of each jar clean with a moistened paper towel.

Apply lids and rings, and place in a roasting tray Bain Marie for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and cool jars on a cooling rack for 12 hours.
