No-Bake Chocolate Cherry Fudge Recipe

Cherry season! What to do with all those delicious cherries, you might ask? How about making some fresh cherry fudge? This recipe is as attractive as it is tasty. Your friends and family will definitely be impressed.

What type of cherries to use in this recipe?

There are two main types of cherries in the United States: sweet and tart. Which cherries you use in this recipe will depend on personal taste, and what is available in your area. The main cherry producing states for sweet cherries are Washington, California, and Oregon. The main tart producing state is Michigan.

New York State is fourth in tart cherry production, eighth in sweet cherry production, and produces 7-8% of the cherries in the United States. Western New York (where I live) produces most of the cherries grown in New York State. Heck, my grandmother had a cherry tree in her backyard when we were growing up and we could not wait for cherry season. And neither could the birds.

Tips for making this No-Bake Chocolate-Cherry Fudge Recipe

● The cherries are not pitted or de-stemmed. You can pit the cherries and leave the stems for a more beautiful, artistic, looking fudge (fudge is a work of art in my opinion!) You can pit and de-stem if you like.

● This can be stored in the freezer for up to one month. Make sure you cover the fudge if leaving in the pan, or foodsaver if you are removing from the pan.
