Author: Philippa Cameron

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Sized Pot
  • 1 sterilised bottle (500mls)
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 funnel

Ingredients

  • 2 cups castor sugar 400 grams
  • 1 cup cocoa powder 100 grams
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup boiling water 250 ml
  • 4 Tbsp golden syrup

Instructions

  • Pop all of the ingredients into a medium sized pot.
Place over a low heat, and stir with a whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove your whisk and allow the sauce to come to a rolling boil (when it bubbles and fold on itself).
Leave for 30 seconds (ish) before turning off the heat.


  • Pour into a sterilised clean jar and allow to cool. 
It will thicken as it cools.

  • It can be stored in your fridge for up to a month (if it lasts that long).

Notes

Tips and Tricks 
  • When you take the sauce from the fridge it may be too thick to pour.  Gently heat it in a pot of water, or in the microwave to soften it.
  • Use this sauce as a delicious home made gift for your neighbour or perhaps your child’s teacher.
  • The next time you purchase a glass bottle of juice at a cafe - pop the bottle in your bag and take home to wash. These make great bottles for gifts.
  • There are many ways to sterilise jars.  One easy way is to boil them for 10 minutes submerged in water.  Or place your washed jar in an oven at 120 for 15 minutes.
