Chocolate Covered Cherries Recipe

I feel like going sophisticated today, and also kinda romantic, with these chocolate covered cherries recipe. If you want to get some good stuff from the pros, here are these Ghirardelli Chocolate Chocolate Covered Cherries.
I definitely recommend to try. But if you want to try something on your own, follow me with this recipe on how to make chocolate covered cherries.

Here is what you’ll need. Consider the ingredients not in absolute term, but as the base, double or triple the proportions depending on how many cherries you want to cover.

10 cherries, pitted
25gr sugar
500ml water
1 tbsp of morello cherries based liqueur, like kirsh or maraschino (but I would also use Alchermes, an Italian liqueur made with sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and vanilla).

Pit the cherries (don’t know how to do it? Use a Cherry Pitter) and line them on a serving dish. Melt the sugar and the water in a pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the liqueur, mix and pour the hot liquid on the cherries. Gently roll them, transfer them to a different dish (so you’ll get rid of the syrup in excess) and let them cool for one hour. After one hour, melt the chocolate on a low heat, take off the stove and dip the cherries one by one. Set aside on a serving dish, or on small paper ramekins.

And here’s how you do these dark chocolate covered cherries for your next romantic dinner.
