Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup raisins
7 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons sugar
3 ounces blanched almonds -- finely chopped
2 egg yolks
7 ounces petit beurre-type bisuits <sweet plain> -- crushed
3 tablespoons mixed candided orange peel and citron

This is another recipe for chocolate salami. The recipe
suggests serving it with whipped cream as a decoration.

Soak the raisins in warm water to cover until needed.
Break up the chocolate and place in a saucepan or heatproof
bowl with the butter. Place this over another saucepan of
gently simmering water until melted (it must not touch the
water). Add the sugar, almonds, biscuit crumbs, drained
raisins, and candied peel and mix well. Remove from heat.
Stir in the egg yolks and let mixture cool completely.

Form mixture into a salami shape with your hands and place
it on a sheet of waxed paper. Seal the paper around it
and refrigerate it for several hours. At serving time,
remove the waxed paper, slice the salami and arrange
the slices on a plate.

NB: For good presentation, don't slice it all. Cut about a third into
slices and serve on a long serving dish with the salami and some
slices already cut on the plate. Better yet, serve it on a
cutting board to fool the guests!
