         Title: Boozy Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries   
    Categories: Five, Fruits, Chocolate, Booze   
         Yield: 50 Cherries   
       
        40 oz Maraschino cherries w/stems;   
              - drained   
     1 3/4 c  Spiced rum; to cover the   
              - cherries   
     1 1/2 c  Dark chocolate   
         1 ts Shortening; opt   
       1/2 c  Sanding sugar   
       
     Drain the cherries, reserving the juice for another   
     purpose. It will not be used in this recipe but is great   
     for cocktails and more.   
        
     Place the cherries in a quart-sized mason jar or other   
     container. Cover completely with spiced rum. Seal and   
     refrigerate for at least 24 hours, up to 72 hours. The   
     longer the cherries sit in the rum, the stronger they   
     will taste.   
        
     Next, drain the rum-soaked cherries. Keep this   
     cherry-infused rum. It is SO good for cocktails. Place   
     the cherries on layers of paper towels for 10 minutes.   
     This step ensures that the chocolate coating will cling   
     to the fruit.   
        
     Line a tray or platter with parchment paper. Place the   
     decorative sugar into a shallow dish or bowl.   
        
     Melt the dark chocolate according to package directions.   
     Use a small bowl that is deep enough to dip the cherries   
     into.   
        
     If the chocolate is too thick, stir in about a teaspoon   
     of shortening until melted and the chocolate is smooth.   
        
     While the chocolate is warm, dip the cherries one at a   
     time. First dip into the chocolate then into the sugar.   
        
     Place the dipped cherries onto the prepared parchment.   
     When done dipping all of the cherries, refrigerate until   
     set.
