Maraschino Cherries

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the liquor from the cherries.

  2. Melt the fondant and dip each cherry in it.

  3. Add a little of the cherry liquor to the fondant while melting to prevent it from becoming watery.

  4. Once all cherries are dipped and the fondant has cooled, coat them with chocolate immediately.

  5. If syrup drops appear on the chocolate, cover them with cooled chocolate to prevent drying.

  6. Wrap the finished cherries in wax paper.
