Ingredients
|
-
Maraschino Cherries with stems, in heavy syrup.
-
3 parts granulated sugar (we used tablespoons as a measure).
-
1 part milk.
-
1 part syrup from the cherry jar.
-
10-12 ozs. semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate; chocolate chips are fine.
-
Waxed paper on a cookie sheet or equivalent that will fit into your freezer.
|
Directions
-
Melt the chocolate over very low heat, stirring until completely melted
and quite smooth.
-
Mix the three parts sugar, one part milk, and one part cherry syrup in
a small bowl.
-
Remove cherries from jar and freeze on waxed paper for a few minutes.
-
Dip chilled cherries into sugar mixture, and return them to the freezer
for a few more minutes.
-
Repeat sugar dipping process, and return cherries to freezer just to set.
-
Either dip the chilled, coated cherries into the melted chocolate, or spoon
chocolate mixture over cherries to coat evenly.
-
Set the chocolate covered cherries in the freezer for a few minutes, then
store in the refrigerator.
-
These are very tasty and may not last long once your family and friends
know you've got them!
Have fun! |
