~Be my Strawberry Valentine~

~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.
