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.
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.
