Chocolate Covered Cherries

Ingredients 1 jar Large maraschino cherries with stems 1/2 cup Brandy 5 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Instructions

Drain cherries well. Soak cherries in brandy for several hours. Drain well and place in freezer in single layer until just frozen. Dry with paper towels and dip each by stem into chocolate, swirling until covered. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.

Notes The original recipe calls for 13 cherries but 13 cherries is just a tease and always use at least one bottle. I drain the liquid from the jar and refill with brandy. The brandy can be used many times. Refrigerate between uses.
