Easy, delicious cherries. Just like you buy in the box! It's best to let the candies ripen for 1 to 2 weeks. Ingredients:
60 maraschino cherries with stems |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
3 tablespoons corn syrup |
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar |
1 pound chocolate confectioners' coating |
Directions:
1. Drain cherries and set on paper towels to dry.
2. In a medium bowl, combine butter and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in confectioners' sugar and knead to form a dough. Chill to stiffen if necessary. Wrap each cherry in about 1 teaspoon of dough. Chill until firm.
3. Melt confectioners' coating in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Dip each cherry in by its stem, and place on waxed paper lined sheets. Chill until completely set. Store in an airtight container in a cool place. Best after 1 or 2 weeks.
