1 (10) ounce package frozen cherries
½ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1 tablespoon water
1 cup dark chocolate chips 73% cacao
- In a medium saucepan, heat cherries, agave, vanilla and almond extract to a simmer
- Combine arrowroot and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to form a paste
- Raise heat a bit and stir the arrowroot paste into the cherry mixture
- Stir for about 1 minute until mixture thickens, scraping bottom of the pan with spoon, to evenly distribute the arrowroot, which can tend to settle on the bottom of the pan
- Remove cherry mixture from heat and set aside
- Melt chocolate in a small saucepan over very low heat
- Spoon scant 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into each of the candy molds
- Spoon one cherry (with some of the sauce) on top of the chocolate
- Cover with another scant teaspoon of chocolate
- Place in refrigerator to set, about 20-30 minutes
- Remove from refrigerator, pop candy out of molds
- Serve
