Chocolate Grape Bonbons
This has both stove-top and microwave directions.
1 cup semisweet or white chocolate baking chips
2 teaspoons shortening
2 dozen large (5 to 7 oz.) green, red, or black seedless grapes, rinsed and patted dry
1 1/2 Tablespoons minced crystallized ginger
In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate and shortening;place over simmering water. Stir often until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2 mintues.
Or, in a microwave oven, combine chocolate and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cook on half-power (50 percent), stirring occasionally, just until chocolate is melted and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. (If white chocolate begins to firm up and doesn't appear to melt, let cool for a few minutes, then stir until smooth.)
On a waxed paper-lined 12- by 15-inch baking sheet, drop 1-teaspoon portions of melted chocolate about 1 1/2 inches apart. Set 1 grape on each puddle; place equal portions of ginger on chocolate. Chill until firm, at least 10 minutes or up until the next day; cover when chocolate is firm. Remove from paper and serve.
Makes 24.
