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
