i went for dinner at my friends house, the Wojteczek family. they served these cherries because they had a special guest-me! this recipe was posted by Olga Drozd at foodgeeks.com. Olga added a comment later that the urkanians also call these drunken cherries.
Ingredients
- cherries with stems shopping list
- 4 cups sugar shopping list
- 1-1/2 cups water shopping list
- brandy shopping list
- semi-sweet chocolate shopping list
How to make it
- Use perfect, undamaged, plump cherries of a good flavor and with stems. Wash the cherries carefully without breaking the stems. Spread them on a cloth to drain. Combine the sugar and the water and boil until the syrup is fairly thick. Cool the syrup slightly and measure it. Add the brandy, allowing 1 cup of brandy to 1 cup of syrup. Arrange the cherries, stems up, in a sterilized sealer, taking care not to overcrowd them. Fill with the brandy sryup and seal.
- Store in a cool place for about 3 months. Drain off the syrup (use it in pudding sauces) and remove the cherries carefully. Spread them on absorbent paper and dry slightly.
- Dip each cherry individually in melted semisweet chocolate to coat evenly and form a seal. place on a lightly buttered wax paper and allow to harden. Store the cherries in a cold place and use as a confection.
