    Categories: Candy, Booze, Fruits, Chocolate   
         Yield: 50 Servings   
       
        50    Maraschino cherries; drained   
       3/4 c  Brandy   
         3 tb Butter   
         3 tb White corn syrup   
       1/4 ts Salt   
         2 c  Confectioners sugar; sifted   
     1 1/2 lb Dipping chocolate   
       
     Pour brandy over drained cherries; let set for 2   
     days.   
        
     Combine butter, corn syrup and salt; blend until   
     smooth. Add sifted powdered sugar and mix well. Knead   
     until smooth and shiny; chill for 1/2 hour wrapped in   
     waxed paper.   
        
     While chilling, drain cherries well on paper   
     towels; pat dry. Reserve brandy marinade for cakes or   
     cooking. Shape a marble-sized piece of fondant around   
     each cherry; place on waxed paper-lined tray. Chill   
     until firm, about 2 hours.   
        
     Melt chocolate a small amount at a time. Dip   
     cherries and place back on wax paper-lined tray. Place   
     in refrigerator to set. Store in covered container in   
     cool dark place for 10 - 14 days to fully ripen.
