Cherry Chocolate Preserve

Directions

1. 1
   Place the cherries in a saucepan with a thick base and add sugar. Bring to a boil, lower the heat medium to low and let boil without lid for about 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Let aside to cool and the next day boil again for about 2 hours. All liquids must pulverize and jam will be very thick.
2. 2
   Dissolve cocoa and brandy in 1/4 cup of water and pour into the jam, stir and boil for a while until most of liquids evaporates. It can be done in a day but the traditional way and the best flavor achieved by assigning cooking in 2 days. Store in sterilized jars.
