Chocolate-dipped Strawberries-new Orleans Jazcandies, dips, fruits 1 fresh louisiana strawberries 1 candymaker's chocolate 1 (milk, dark, or white) 1 look for chocolate labelled 1 as couverture chocolate Wash the strawberries well, but do not remove stems. Spread the berries on towels or absorbent paper in a single layer, and allow to air dry until all water has evaporated (chocolate will not adhere properly if the berries are damp). Melt 1/2 pound chocolate in a double boiler deep enough to cover strawberries. Holding the berries by the stem, hand dip each one 3/4 of the way up to the top. Place on waxed paper and allow to harden or refrigerate until hard. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Walt MM |
