Ingredients

  • Approx 48 cherries with stems

  • 4T butter

  • 4T corn syrup

  • 2 1/2c 10x sugar

  • 1/2tsp vanilla or almond extract

  • 1lb dipping chocolate

Directions

  1. Remove cherries from juice when ready to roll. They need to be a little juicy (don’t let dry out).

  2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and extract to form a smooth dough.

  3. Roll 1tsp sized balls. Press flat. Slightly larger/thicker are easier to wrap around cherries.

  4. Wrap each cherry completely. Flatten bottom of wrapped cherry slightly so they stand straight. Make sure fondant is nice and rounded.

  5. Place on waxed paper.

  6. Chill in freezer or fridge for a few minutes.

  7. Melt chocolate. Dip each cherry. Be sure to come up the stem slightly.

  8. Let harden. Then re-dip bottoms. And swirl a little chocolate over top for decoration.

  9. Let “rest” covered at room temperature until centers are liquid. (A week or more). Having “wetter” cherries speeds this.

  10. Vanilla extract tastes best. Ghiradelli dipping chocolate looks best after a week.
