goodbye/fun facts....chocolate covered cherry day. Just as the holiday festivities are behind us and a new year begins January 3 is for celebrating that combo that just naturally seems to go together, cherries and chocolate. Chocolate covered cherries, also known as cherry cordials, have been enjoyed by Americans and indeed the world for generations. Early settlers from Europe were so fond of cherries they made sure that some were stashed among the cargo when they sailed the Atlantic Ocean to reach America in the 1600s. The English began soaking sweet cherries in kirsch, a cherry brandy, and covering them with chocolate in the 1700s. the alcohol was removed from the recipe during prohibition, and cherry cordials were instead made with cherry flavored sugar syrup...as we know them today
