Chocolate-Covered Cherries
2 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 Tbls. milk
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2 (8oz. each) jars marachino cherries with stems, well drained*
2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 Tbls. shortening
In mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, milk, and extract; mix well. Knead
into large ball. Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten each into 2 inch
circle. Wrap around cherries and lightly roll in hands. Place with stem up
on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely and refrigerate 4 hours
or over night. Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a double-boiler
or microwave-safe bowl. Holding onto stem, dip cherries into chocolate;
set on waxed paper to harden. Store in a covered container. Refrigerate
1-2 weeks before serving. The longer the sit the juicier the center will
be. Yield: about 3 dozen.
*We have found that the cheap brand of cherries make a very dry cherry
so you may not want to drain them much. If you end up with a dry filling
store them on the counter for a week, which seems to help some.
