--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2   c            Raisins
  7       oz           Semi sweet chocolate
  3       tb           Butter
  6       tb           Sugar
  3       oz           Blanched almonds --
                       -finely chopped
  7       oz           Petit beurre biscuits --
                       -sweet plain, crushed
  3       tb           Mixed candied orange peel
                       -and citron -- chopped
  2                    Egg yolks

 Make simple syrup with equal parts sugar and water.

 Peel rind of orange and lemon thin, let them boil in the simple
 syrup for 15 minutes, then put on rack in oven at 350°F for few
 minutes to dry out. Soak the raisins in warm water until needed.

 Break up the chocolate & place in top of double boiler with butter
 and heat until melted, add sugar, almonds, biscuit crumbs, drained
 raisins and candied peel and mix well.

 Remove from from heat and stir in the egg yolks and let mixture
 cool almost completely. While still a little warm, form mixture
 into a rough salami shape with hands, place on saran wrap, seal and
 refrigerate for several hours. Slice thin and serve.

 Note:

 Mixture is crumbly. Make 4 rough balls and then combine to make one
 large salami. Form into rough shape, then place tightly in saran
 wrap, being careful to wrap completely, twist the ends and fold
 under and then roll the salami until it compacts and becomes firm.
 Place in refrigerator and chill until firm, couple of hours or
 overnight.
