Chocolate Coated Cherries

Chocolate dipped Fruit is one of the simplest, tastiest, healthiest desserts with the potential for an infinite number of variations. I use the basic recipe for many UnDiet holidays, varying it to suit the season.

In a small heavy saucepan over very low heat, stir until melted and smooth then remove from heat (or microwave)

1/2 cup grain-sweetened chocolate or carob chips
1 tablespoon butter

Dip one at a time, into melted chocolate

fresh cherries with stems, or strawberries, grapes, raisins, dried date nuggets ...

Place cherries as they are dipped on wax paper or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate 15 minutes to set chocolate. If the kids are bugging you for a quick snack you could place a few pieces in the freezer to speed up the process, but don't put the whole batch in the freezer; the chocolate will develop a white film.

Liqueur Cherries

Caution: don't dip and drive  Soak cherries overnight to 4 days in your choice of liqueur. Lightly pat dry before dipping in chocolate.
