Add the sugar-pectin mixture and return the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil for one minute. Remove the pot from the heat and skim any foam from the surface of the jam. Stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth. 4 Ladle the hot jam into hot, clean jars. To preserve the jam, process it in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
