Chocolate-dipped cherries


What do you do when your Mum is a highly successful consultant and receives hampers filled with cherries as Christmas presents, and then gives you heaps of cherries and then you get home and your boyfriend says he doesn't really eat cherries?


You dip them in chocolate and serve them to guests, that's what!


Calling this a recipe feels like a cop-out, but sometimes it's all too easy to forget how good dipping fruit in chocolate can be.  Let this be your reminder.


Ingredients:
  • dark chocolate
  • cherries

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, in 20 second batches.  When it's about two thirds melted, remove it and stir until it completely melts (this will prevent burning and keep the chocolate lovely and glossy.




 Line a plate with foil.  Dip your cherries and place on the plate.  Then put them in the fridge.





Pull them out to impress guests during the festive season. And have a few yourself every now and then, just to continue the spirit of the things, and make a contribution.
