      Title: Fudgy Cherry & Port Brownies
 Categories: Desserts, Fruits, Chocolate
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 tb Port or water
      2 tb Water
    1/2 c  Dried cherries
      5 tb Unsalted butter; in pieces
      6 oz Semisweet chocolate; coarse
           - chopped
    3/4 c  Sugar
      2 lg Eggs; cold
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/3 c  All-purpose flour
  4 1/2 oz Chopped semisweet chocolate
           +=OR=+
    3/4 c  Semisweet chocolate pieces
           Fresh raspberries (opt)
 
  Position oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to
  325ºF/163ºC. Line an 8x8x2-inch pan with foil. Butter
  foil; set aside.
  
  In a small saucepan, bring the port and water to boiling.
  Add dried cherries; cook and stir over low heat until the
  fruit is soft and plump and liquid evaporates. Using a
  spatula, scrape the cherries into a bowl; set aside to
  cool.
  
  Set a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering
  water (be sure that the water doesn't touch the bottom of
  the bowl). Place the butter in the bowl; scatter the 6 oz.
  chocolate over butter. Heat until the chocolate is almost
  melted (you do not want to heat the mixture so much that
  the butter and chocolate separate). Remove bowl from the
  heat. Stir until butter and chocolate are smooth.
  
  Whisk in the sugar until fully incorporated. Add eggs one
  at a time, stirring until batter is smooth and glossy.
  Whisk in salt. Gently whisk in the flour, stirring only
  until it disappears into the batter. Using a spatula, stir
  in the port-soaked cherries (and any liquid that
  accumulated) and the remaining 4 1/2 oz. chopped
  chocolate. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the
  top as much as possible.
  
  Bake 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; cool to room
  temperature. Invert brownies onto a cutting board; gently
  peel away the foil. Turn brownies over. Cut into 36
  squares. Serve with fresh raspberries, if desired.
  
  From the Test Kitchen: Keep in an airtight container at
  room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up
  to 3 months.
