Is fresh cherries ok to use for chocolate covered cherries?
I want to make some chocolate covered cherries as a gift for my uncle. I purchased some fresh cherries as he loves them and wanted to know if i could use those to dip in chocolate instead of the jarred ones.
please the most important thing is to cut the pit out of the fresh cherries. If he bites into one and chips a tooth…. as happy and kind as the thought is, it would be forgotten in one bite.
wash them thoroughly first and dry and de-stem them, I cut them in half (at room temperature. Then I take the pit out and use a drop of the melted chocolate to bond the halves together and chill them a little before dipping them as well

OF COURSE! Fresh cherries are better that anything if you ask me. In fact, cherries right off of a cherry tree is better than anything in my opinion.

I'm sure that would be great. I would refrigerate them though.

Actually, it's probably better. The ones in jars tend to be sugared and slippery, but fresh ones are larger, taste better (not as sweet, though) and are easier to eat. Just be sure that you get the cherries right before you want to give them to him. That sounds delicious! You're a good niece.
