24 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped |
1 1/2 cups almonds, coarsely chopped |
2/3 cup dark raisin |
Directions:

2. In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the cranberries with the sugar, stirring gently & constantly for 6 minutes, then remove from the heat.
3. In a heavy saucepan bring the heavy cream ALMOST to a boil over medium heat, then place the saucepan in a large skillet of simmering water & add the chopped chocolate.
