- Drain and chop maraschino cherries. It is crucial that these chopped cherries are patted dry as much as possible. Any extra liquid will make the fudge sticky. Use a paper towel to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible; set aside.

- Spread the mixture into a parchment paper lined baking dish with a rubber spatula. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours until solid.
- Once solid, remove the parchment paper from the dish and slice the fudge into cubes.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
