PREPARATION
Wash the fruit, cut into bite sized pieces and pat dry. Retain the stalks as useful handles.
Prepare a large baking sheet covered with waxed paper
Set a heat proof bowl over, but not touching, a shallow pan of simmering water
NOW FOR THE FUN PART
Gently melt the chocolate in the bowl, whisking to mix evenly. Remove from the heat as soon as it is melted. Tilt the bowl and dip each piece into the chocolate to cover about two-thirds. Turn the fruit to coat it evenly, lift out of the chocolate, and gently shake off any excess. Starting furthest away, carefully lay the fruit it on the waxed paper.
If the chocolate begins to cool and thicken, return the bowl to the water bath to heat briefly.
Let the fruit stand at room temperature for 15 minutes and if necessary refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Serve as soon as possible at room temperature.
