BITTERSWEET HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 4-quart Dutch oven combine the chocolates, half-and-half or light cream, and sugar.
• Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
• Simmer mixture, uncovered, over low heat about 2 minutes or until mixture is creamy, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat; stir in the vanilla.
• Pour the hot sauce into 7 or 8 hot, clean half-pint jars or 16 (4-ounce) jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace.
• Place metal lids on jars.
• Screw metal bands onto jars following manufacturer's directions.
• Store chocolate sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
• (The sauce must be stored in the refrigerator after placing in jars. Even though the hot sauce may cause the lids on the jars to seal, this is not a secure canning seal. Do not store at room temperature.) Serve sauce warm* over ice cream, eclairs, or fresh berries.
• Makes eight 1/2-pint or sixteen 1/2-cup jars (128, 1-tablespoon servings)*Note: To reheat, place 1/2 cup sauce in a 1-cup glass measure.
• Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until heated through, stirring once.
• Or, place in a small saucepan.
• Cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes or until heated through.

HOT FUDGE SAUCE

Steps:

• In measuring cup with a spout, combine the cream, butter, and salt. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook the sugar, corn syrup, and water, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Cook until a dark amber color, about 1 to 2 minutes, without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the cream mixture into the sugar mixture. (Take care, since the sugar will bubble up when the cream is added.) Whisk until smooth.
• Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream/sugar mixture over the chocolate. Add the vanilla and whisk until smooth. Serve the hot fudge sauce warm.
• Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat over low heat before serving.
