Directions
For the filling, first combine 10% of the sugar with the pectin.

To assemble truffles, microwave or melt chocolate over a double boiler until fluid.
Deposit chocolate into molds, then invert over a bowl and pour out excess, tapping gently. Scrape excess chocolate off with bench scraper.
Tap the molds gently against a hard surface to remove any air bubbles. Refrigerate immediately for 7 minutes.
Pipe room temperature filling into chocolate filled molds, leaving 3 mm of headspace.
Ladle melted chocolate over the mold to cap each piece; remove excess chocolate with a bench scraper.
Refrigerate the chocolates for 10 minutes, then pop out of molds and package.
