Steak-Lover's Cherry Chocolates #A1
- 12 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
- 12 cup pineapple, diced small
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons A.1. Original Sauce
- First, create the chocolate shells that you'll later fill.
- Using a double boiler set up, melt half of the chocolate.
- I use a glass bowl over a small pot of simmering water.
- Once the chocolate is smoothly melted, remove it from the heat and fill each of the pockets in your candy mold about 1/2 full.
- Use a small spoon or brush to smooth this down and brush the chocolate up the sides of the mold.
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then lightly brush up along the sides again.
- Be sure that the sides and bottom are covered with a light layer of chocolate, then set your mold in the freezer to harden.
- Make your filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix together the chopped cherries, pineapple, and brown sugar.
- Allow this to cook, stirring occasionally, until you see a lot of water has released from the fruit.
- Mix in the A1 steak sauce, turn the heat down to low-medium, and stir occasionally until the liquid has reduced by half.
- Taste the filling for a balance of sweet and savory--the water content of your fruit might mean you need a bit more brown sugar or a bit more steak sauce.
- Once reduced and flavorful, remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
- Fill and cover your candies: Retrieve your chilled chocolate shells and add your fruity filling to the centers by either piping or carefully spooning.
- Heat the rest of the chocolate using your double boiler and top off the candies to form the "bottoms," smoothing them with a spatula.
- Chill to set, then they're ready to eat!
