~Be my Strawberry Valentine~
by Sarah Mahina Calvello
I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an 'errie' in it!

You can dip practicly any fruit in chocolate and have it be
romantic. These chocolate-covered fruit are a great gift, and
just to have out for guests when you feel like being fancy. . Fruit
and chocolate have always went hand-in-hand f
or any occasion, and pretty much "just because."
What You need
Fresh fruit ( such as whole strawberries, 1-inch-thick slices
peeled banana, peeled pear wedges and orange segment)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon kirsch ( clear cherry brandy)
7 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate - cut into pieces for melting
3 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons whipping cream
What to Do
Bring cream and honey to simmer in medium saucepan.
Add your chocolate; whisk until melted.
Take out of the heat.
Mix in the kirsch and extract.
Pour the fondue into bowl and place on platter.
Surround with fruit.
Serve with skewers.
Any fruit and anything with an "errie" in it, is made so much
tastier with chocolate on it. It's whimsical and airy, and I wold
have it with a light wine, I prefer a bubbling Rose or Spumone
to enhance that berry.chocolate beauty. I also make designs
and play with my food, it's all about the presentation. My
favorite would be the chocolate strawberry sun I made, not too
intricate but classy.And who would refuse a strawberry sun, or
anything covered in chocolate.
