I adore chocolate-covered cherries. Who doesnât? But thereâs something extra special about making them in my own kitchen for my very favorite people! Ingredients:
1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries (with stems), drained |
1/2 cup rum or brandy |
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
1 teaspoon shortening |
Directions:
1. Place cherries in a bowl; cover with rum. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Drain and pat dry.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Holding stems, dip cherries in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
