Strawberry & Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

Strawberry & Chocolate Brownies:
½ cup chocolate (I used left over chocolate candies, otherwise just a break a bar down until you have about ½ cup)
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ cup white sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup strawberry jam (recipe as follows)
1 cup flour
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
¼ cup dried cranberries
Homemade Strawberry Jam:
½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
3 tablespoons of sugar, divided

Preparation

1
In a small saucepan, boil down strawberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar for homemade jam. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Once the fruit has boiled down and thickened remove at once and transfer to a glass bowl. Stir in one more tablespoon of sugar and set aside to cool down completely.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
3
Line an 8-inch glass dish with parchment paper coming up the sides. Butter the parchment paper and set aside.
4
In a small bowl, melt down chocolate and butter. Once melted stir in canola oil and sugars. If the mixture is still hot, let it sit for a few minutes to cool a bit before adding the eggs.
5
Add eggs, stirring after each. Add homemade jam and flour. Fold in chocolate chips and cranberries.
6
Pour batter into lined baking dish and bake for about 25 minutes.
7
Lift brownies out of baking dish immediately and transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely before slicing.
8
If desired, serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a cup of coffee.
