       Title: CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES-New Orleans Jazz & Heritage
  Categories: Candies, Dips, Fruit
       Yield: 10 servings
  
            Fresh Louisiana strawberries
            Candymaker's chocolate
            (milk, dark, or white);
            Look for chocolate labelled
            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
