LOL - I had a nieghbor who ALWAYS had a box of these out in her living
room (bought from KMart, of course). I liked them when I was 8,
because they were a novelty we never had our house (which I now realie
was my mother's better taste).
Now I would only eat them as a dare. Waxy and sickly sweet.

We used to pick them in California at the "U-pick" Cherry Orchards.
They are delightfully suited for pies.

I think SW is talking about really cheap chocolate-covered
maraschino cherries (with the soft but not liquid fondant centers.)
Not a yellow-with-red-blush variety of real cherries. HTH :-)

I quit looking for chocolate cherries a long time ago. I put them out of
my mind. I believe I could eat a pound at a sitting with a quart of
whole milk. Heaven! They're too good to be good for me, and I generally
don't care about what's "good for me".
I have denigrated myself to an occasional pint of 'Cherry Garcia' which
ain't bad but isn't chocolate cherries by any stretch.

There is no such thing as "real" chocolate covered cherries, not
unless you are refering to using real chocolate.
"Queen Anne" is a cherry varietal, a light colored cherry that lends
itself to dying for making marachino cherries. Queen Anne cherries
are predominently grown in Oregon and Washington state. Regardless
which brand of chocolate covered cherry, in the US they are virtually
all Queen Anne cherries.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maraschino_cherry
Unprocessed Queen Anne cherries are also readily available
canned/jarred at most stupidmarket, Del Monte brand is popular.
Queen Ann cherry trees are available at most plant nurseries at this
time of year.
Food Snob®
He ended up giving pretty detailed instructions. I guess you just
missed that part. Nearly all of us food slum in some ways. Those
chocolate covered maraschino things are one of yours. John's cherries
are spectacular. His toffee is great too. When my sweet cherries
come in, I should do something of the sort with some of them. The
trees are loaded this year.
Damn. The left shift key does not work in combination with the letter

I do use "real dark chocolate" to cover my Chocolate Covered Cherries.
And I use REAL cherries, not those maraschino things that are only
called cherries because at one time, they used to be cherries! YUCK!!

That's right. They grow on trees here in California.

They invented this thing called air conditioning. It used to only be

HOUSE! It makes the air cold in the Summer!
Seriously though, other than the dipping, the rest is not temp
dependent. Even just the soaking in the Cherry Kijafa and combining
them with invert sugar fondant could make for cherry stuff that would
do nicely in a black foresty sort of a cake. We've got blackberries
and raspberries that we're going to do nice things with that involve
Chambord.

You ever see what they do to a cherry in the process of making
Maraschino Cherries? I did, either on the Food Network or an old Mr
Rogers or something on the TV. First thing they do is suck ALL the
color and flavor out, leaving this whitish translucent ball into which
they infuse FAKE color and flavor!!
YUCK!!!

Here's a reference:

Briefly, the Queen Anne is the new name for Royal Anne. The Rainier is
related but came later.

As I make Chocolate Covered Cherries, I've gotten to sample the
fondant at all stages of liquification, from 100% "solid" to almost
all liquid. I like mine towards the liquid side, because if the
fondant had not liquefied at all, then the cherry flavor and fondant
flavor never mixes like it does when liquification tales place. YUM!
But that's my Chocolate covered Cherries. The fondant is made of
almond flavored marshmallow cream, powdered sugar, and the cherries
are real Bing cherries soaked overnight in Cherry Kijafa and Chambord.
So there is some major flavor mixing to occur!! :-)

If I eat more than 2 of the milk chocolate ones, my teeth hurt
(figuratively.) The dark chocolate ones are not nearly so
sickeningly sweet -- actually they are, but the dark chocolate cuts

The pancreas secretes a number of hormones and enzymes as both a
ducted and a ductless gland. Insulin among them, from the Islet cells
of Langerhorn to enable your cells to use glucose.

ObFood
Chicken Sauce Piquant
1 (3 1/2) pound chicken, deboned, cut in 1-inch pieces
Spice mix (recipe follows)
3/4 cup vegetable oil or lard
1 cup flour
1 small onion, diced
1 small poblano pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
3 stalks celery, diced
5 medium Roma tomatoes, diced
2 cups canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried thyme
4 bay leaves
5 cups chicken stock
4 dashes hot sauce
Hot cooked rice
Diced scallions, for garnish
Toss chicken in spice mix, making certain the chicken is evenly coated. .
In wide bottom pot or Dutch oven, heat oil until it begins to smoke
slightly. While waiting, coat the chicken with the flour in a large
mixing bowl, tossing the chicken with your hands to make sure it all
gets coated well. Shake excess flour off the chicken, reserving the
leftover flour.
Pan fry the chicken over medium heat. Don't crowd the pan with the
chicken or it will not get the right color. The pieces should be side by
side, not on top of one another. When chicken has reached the desired
color, remove it from the pan with a slotted spatula. Most likely you
will have to do this in two batches.
Add the remaining flour to the oil in the pan, and cook over medium heat
for about five minutes to make a medium brown roux. Add onions, peppers,
garlic and celery, and cook five minutes more. Add the tomatoes,
chicken, dried thyme, bay leaves, stock and hot sauce.
Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes. Serve over rice with freshly diced
scallions.
Spice Mix
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Combine all ingredients.

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.
In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.
Clinton’s election was a planned transition of power to allow the NWO or
New World Order advocated by Bush, Sr., to solidify and move forward
after a more suitable puppet was elected President to carry out the New
World Order Agenda (NWO) agenda – our current president, Barack Hussein
Obama. Your deduction is right, GHWB left office willingly to promote
the NWO by having Clinton elected (electronic voter fraud) and Perot
neutralized! This is the power they currently possess. They are
amazingly ruthless and efficient while amazingly arrogant and stupid at
the same time.
