and peppermint schnapps. A delicious adults-only treat! Serve warm drizzled
over baked goods, or ice-cream :)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water3 cups white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
1 1/2 cups good quality cocoa
3 tablespoons peppermint schnapps, or to taste (I ended up using 5 tablespoons)
Pre-heat jars
For each batch, you'll want to pre-heat your half pint or pint jars by covering in boiling water and boiling for 10 minutes. Heat seals covered in pre-boiled water for 10 minutes.
Combine everything (except the cocoa
and liqueur)
In a medium pot (or larger - it expands
a LOT while cooking) whisk together the water, sugar, kosher
salt and golden syrup. Bring to a boil and add the sifted cocoa. Whisk to
combine.
Simmer and reduce
Bring to a boil then turn down to
almost a simmer, stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has
reduced a little and thickened to a consistency similar to golden syrup. Stir
in the liqueur.
Ladle sauce into jars
You'll definitely need a funnel with this recipe, it can get very messy! Ladle hot sauce into hot jars, to a 1/4 inch (0.5cm) headspace. Remove any bubbles, adding extra sauce if required.

Prepare jars
As the rims of the jars get sticky, wipe with a clean, damp cloth then wipe dry with a second cloth or paper towel. Add seals to centre of jars and tighten rings to fingertip-tight.
