Raspberry & Chocolate Shortbread Bars image

A very long time ago, when I was a child, I decided that chocolate and raspberries was a combination made in heaven, and that any treat made with these two delicious ingredients would be at the top of my holiday list. Any seedless jam or preserves may be used, but raspberry is our favorite. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY JAM (CANNING RECIPE)



Chocolate Raspberry Jam (Canning Recipe) image

MMMM...Chocolate and Raspberries. What could be better as a preserve? I found this recipe on the Web somewhere, I forget where exactly. Probably at Recipes Downunder. I'm going to make this as Christmas presents for this year, but haven't had time yet. I hope it's as delicious as it sounds!

Categories     Raspberries

Time 1h

Yield 6 cups (half-pints), 80 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 cups frozen raspberries, crushed or 7 pints fresh raspberries
3 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares
4 cups granulated sugar
1 (1 3/4 ounce) box dry pectin, for lower sugar recipes
1/2 teaspoon margarine or 1/2 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Crush berries thoroughly, 1 cup at a time. If using frozen berries, use both liquied and solids; they were all part of the original fresh berry. (Sieve 1/2 of the pulp to remove some of the seeds if desired. You can sieve it all if preparing from those with dental problems. Removing seeds causes waste, so be sure you have enough berries.).
  • Make sure your canning equipment is scrupulously clean, and place 7 pint or half-pint jars on a rack in a boiling water canner. Fill the canner with water, adding a shot of vinegar to prevent mineral buildup, and bring to a boil while you prepare the jam. Allow it to boil for 10 minutes to sterilize jars, then turn down the heat to keep the jars hot. Remember to keep a kettle of hot water handy, and a saucepan of boiling water for your lids and rings.
  • Measure 6 cups of crushed fruit into a 6-8 quart heavy nonreactive saucepan. Break the chocolate squares into smaller pieces and add them to saucepan.
  • Measure sugar into a separate bowl. Mix 1/4 cup of the measured sugar with the pectin powder in another small bowl. Stir pectin-sugar mixture into fruit in a saucepan. Add butter. Bring quickly to a full rolling boil. Boil for EXACTLY 1 MINUTE, stirring constantly.
  • Remove pan from heat. Skim off any foam and ladle the jam into hot sterilized pint or half-pint canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
  • Remove the jars to a towel/newspaper lined surface, invert for 10 minutes, and allow to cool. Label the jars and store in a cool dry place for up to 1 year.

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup(s) butter, softened
1/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
3/4 cup(s) flour
1/4 cup(s) dark cocoa powder
1 cup(s) seedless red raspberry jam
1/2 cup(s) white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon(s) shortening

Steps:

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  • In a large bowl, beat butter until fluffy. Stir in sugar, salt and vanilla, using a spatula.
  • In a small bowl sift the flour and cocoa; add to the butter mixture. Stir until ingredients are combined and a soft dough forms.
  • Divide dough in half, place dough on opposite sides of the cookie sheet. Using your fingers, pat each piece of dough into a 6 inch round. Using a sharp knife score each dough round into 8 slices. Place entire cookie sheet in freezer for 25 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove cookie sheet from freezer and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Prick dough all over with a fork and bake for approximately 15 minutes until center is dry to the touch.
  • Remove from oven, place cookie sheet on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Slice shortbread into wedges. Remove wedges from baking sheet and cool completely on racks.
  • When cooled, spread a thick layer of jam on each wedge.
  • In a small bowl, combine white chocolate and shortening, place in microwave, cook until melted; stir until smooth. Place chocolate in a pastry bag with a small tip and pipe "garland" on each "tree wedge". Allow cookies to sit, until chocolate has hardened. Place in an air tight container with waxed paper between layers.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape even more.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a good quality raspberry jam for the best flavor. A seedless jam is ideal.
  • If you don't have raspberry jam, you can use another type of fruit jam, such as strawberry or apricot.

Conclusion:

These chocolate shortbread cookies with raspberry jam are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal party. With their rich chocolate flavor, buttery shortbread crust, and tangy raspberry jam filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
