I suspect it may have something to do with if I use dutched or natural cocoa powder, but I can't really say why. Even if a few crystals form, it doesn't bother me, or stop us from enjoying it! If I am giving it as a gift, I sterilize the jar first - I think it lasts even longer that way. (I sterilize in boiling water for 10 minutes or on a sheet pan in a 250 degree oven for a half hour or so if I have a number of jars.)rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-56147545489289716942011-10-18T19:49:35.196-05:002011-10-18T19:49:35.196-05:00Thank you so much for this recipe!

TruMoo advertises "no corn syrup" but it still has corn starch in it. So I promised to find a way to make corn free syrup. I made up a batch of your recipe in 15 mins. It was DELICIOUS and brought a huge smile to a 5 yr old boy's face! I'm anxious to see how it stores. Does it seperate, crystalize, etc.Stacienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-11940204742241631962011-07-02T09:59:39.385-05:002011-07-02T09:59:39.385-05:00Anyone know if this sauce can be sealed?

Since this post, I have made ...Annemarie, thanks!! Since this post, I have made the syrup again using 'natural' process cocoa instead of the 'dutched' cocoa I was getting in the bulk bins at my food co-op. I don't know if the make-up of the chocolate mattered, but I had no crystallization issues when I used the natural process cocoa. I used my local brand (a Milwaukee company that sources cocoa in Africa), Omahene - and I'll never make it any other way. I also used raw sugar, and the flavor is out of this world!!<br /><br />I did try making vanilla extract once, but maybe didn't have enough beans in the booze... You convince me to give it another go!!rcakewalkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646758033700076277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-43478890045501175642010-11-13T11:37:55.789-06:002010-11-13T11:37:55.789-06:00I'm very late on this apparently :).

I just wanted to say thanks for this post. <br />I have a corn allergy and look all over for many corn free recipies, so I can eat as normally as possible. I have made my own chocolate sauce, ironically it is the same recipe for hot chocoalte on the back of the Hershey's cocoa box.(sans the milk.)<br />It's a bit thin, so I'm very happy to find this, so I can make a thicker syrup for the kids to put on their ice cream.<br />I also wanted to throw in, that I make my own vanilla extract (even organic extracts use corn alcohol, so I have to use potato vodka.), and it really brings out a nice flavor in my chocolate sauce.<br />If you haven't already made it, google homemade vanilla extract. It's easy, lasts forever and the taste is amazing you will LOVE it.Pwnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882628989972588008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3068230522284074298.post-36363431670491116482010-03-11T01:09:56.395-06:002010-03-11T01:09:56.395-06:00I have all the ingredients!
