Homemade Chocolate Syrup


1 c warm water
1 c sugar
1 c cocoa
3 T homemade vanilla extract
pinch of canning salt

Whisk cocoa and water in a saucepan until cocoa is dissolved.  Whisk in sugar. Put on the stove and heat on medium to a simmer. Add salt and vanilla. Heat thoroughly but do not boil.

1/4 inch head space. Hot water bath for 15 minutes.

Makes 3 1/2 pints.

This recipe is from Noreen on youtube. She does not can it on the video. I found the instructions for canning (at my own risk) on another blog. Not recommended to can by other sources. I may try adding lemon juice to see what it does to the taste and texture.
