How to Make Liqueur Soaked Chocolate Maraschino Cherries
- Drain a jar (approximately 16 ounces) of maraschino cherries thoroughly.
- Pat the cherries completely dry with paper towels. (Avoid using cheese cloth or cotton cloth as they may stick to the cherries.)
- Gently place the dried cherries in an airtight container.
- Pour 1/2 cup of your favorite liqueur (such as amaretto, Grand Marnier, or Kirsch) over the cherries, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the container tightly and let them soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Carefully remove the cherries from the container, reserving the liqueur for cocktails or other recipes.
- Pat the cherries dry again using clean paper towels, being very careful not to break the stems.
- Melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth and melted; do not overheat.
- Remove from heat.
- Dip each cherry into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to coat evenly.
- Place the dipped cherries on wax paper lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
