Title: Chocolate Covered Brandied Cherries
Categories: Candy, Booze, Fruits, Chocolate
Yield: 50 Servings
50 Maraschino cherries; drained
3/4 c Brandy
3 tb Butter
3 tb White corn syrup
1/4 ts Salt
2 c Confectioners sugar; sifted
1 1/2 lb Dipping chocolate
Pour brandy over drained cherries; let set for 2
days.
Combine butter, corn syrup and salt; blend until
smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar and mix well. Knead
until smooth and shiny; chill for 1/2 hour wrapped in
waxed paper.
While chilling, drain cherries well on paper
towels; pat dry. Reserve brandy marinade for cakes or
cooking. Shape a marble-sized piece of fondant around
each cherry; place on waxed paper-lined tray. Chill
until firm, about 2 hours.
Melt chocolate a small amount at a time. Dip
cherries and place back on wax paper-lined tray. Place
in refrigerator to set. Store in covered container in
cool dark place for 10 - 14 days to fully ripen.
