June's Goal - Chocolate Syrup

About a month ago, we ran out of chocolate syrup.  The Hardworking Husband wanted me to buy more, but I wanted to try my hand at making it.  I saw Alton Brown making it one day.  It didn't look too hard, but I just hadn't gotten around to it until now.

Chocolate Syrup

1 1/2 cups water
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups Dutch processed cocoa
1 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp white corn syrup

In a medium sauce pan, mix water and sugar.  Bring to a boil.  While waiting for sugar mixture to boil, measure out cocoa, vanilla, salt & syrup.  You will want them measured beforehand because it goes quickly once you start adding the ingredients.  Once the sugar mixture is boiling, turn heat to medium.  Whisk in cocoa.  It will bubble up a lot!  Once tame enough, add the remaining ingredients.  Continue to cook & stir until reduced some.  You want it to be slightly thicker. About 5 minutes.

Strain into a bowl and allow to cool about an hour.

Pour into a container and refrigerate.  It's great on ice cream or in milk.
