directions

  • A day or two before baking, in a bowl, combine the cherries and the port. Cover and set aside. Every 12 hours, mix well.
  • In a microwaveable container, add the dark chocolate chips, butter and brown sugar. Microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until chips have melted and everything has been combined. Transfer to bowl of electric mixer and allow to completely cool.
  • Place the oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with cooking spray and then line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Combine well.
  • The chocolate should be cool enough at this point. On low speed, add each egg one at a time. Keep the sides scraped down so the chocolate will all be incorporated.
  • Add the flour and hand stir until just combined. Add the sour cream, dark chocolate pieces and the cherries and hand stir until just combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the pan and bake for about 1 hour. The brownie should be set and not at all wobbly. Allow to completely cool.
  • You could cover tightly with plastic wrap at this point and the brownies would keep for several days. Chill if you want to cut precise squares.
