Cordial Cherries From Southern Living
Brandy-soaked cherries can be left in the freezer for up to two days before you dip them into the
chocolate.
1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries with stems
1/2 cup brandy (optional) 1 (8-ounce) package semisweet chocolate baking squares, chopped
Drain maraschino cherries, and return to jar. Pour brandy, if desired, in jar; cover with a lid, and
freeze 8 hours. Drain cherries, and pat dry, reserving brandy for another use. <hehe>
Melt two-thirds of chocolate baking squares in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until a candy
thermometer reaches 115°. Remove from heat; add remaining chocolate, and stir until candy
thermometer reaches 89° and chocolate is smooth.
Dip cherries quickly into melted chocolate, coating well. Place cherries on wax paper, stem sides
up, and cool.
Yield: 2 1/2 dozen
