recipes for valentines day .....Chocolate Covered Cherries

[Guest guest]

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

 

3 10 oz. cans of maschino (or maraschino) cherries with stems

3 tablespoons non-hydrogenated vegan margarine

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

2 cups sifted vegan powdered sugar

1 pound dark vegan chocolate

Directions:

1. Drain cherries thoroughly on paper towels for several hours. Line

a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.

 

2. In a bowl combine margarine and corn syrup. Stir in powdered

vegan sugar; knead until smooth. Chill. Shape 1/2 teaspoon of

mixture around each cherry. Place them, stem side down, on the

baking sheet. Chill for no longer than one hour.

 

3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Line a baking sheet with waxed

paper. Holding cherries by the stem, dip them in the chocolate. Be

sure to completely seal cherries in the coating to prevent leaking.

Place cherries, stem side down, on the baking sheet.

 

4. Chill until firm. Store in a tightly covered container in the

fridge. Leave them for 1 to 2 weeks to allow the filling to liquefy.

Enjoy.
