I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Famous Family Favorites Cookbook. Collected by The Business and Professional Women's Club of Corning, New York. The recipe was submitted by Tonya Kashmer. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 tablespoon light cream or 1 tablespoon milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
3 drops almond extract |
12 ounces maraschino cherries, drained |
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 tablespoon shortening |
Directions:
1. Cream butter and confectioners sugar; then add cream, vanilla and almond extract.
2. Using electric mixer at lowest speed, work the mixture until it forms a thick pliable fondant.
3. If too sticky to shape with the hands, work in a little more confectioners sugar, 1/2 tablespoon at a time.
4. Dry cherries on a paper towel.
5. Mold a small amount of fondant (about 1 teaspoon) around each cherry to cover completely.
6. Arrange cherries on tray; cover lightly with waxed paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
7. Melt chocolate with shortening in top of double boiler over hot water; cool, stirring frequently, until thickened and no longer warm to the touch.
8. Drop cherries, one at a time, into chocolate and turn to cover completely.
9. Remove with a for and drop onto waxed paper.
10. Chill 15 minutes to harden chocolate.
11. Before serving, store candies in cool place for 2 days so that fondant will liquefy.
