Alcy's Christmas Luncheon

ALMOND CLUSTERS

Melt some chocolate with a little shortening

In the microwave, until the chips are almost melted,

don’t over cook it. Pour into a bowl. Add the roasted almonds, or any

kind of nut to the chocolate mix. Work quickly so the chocolate

doesn’t’ set up. After coated, lift the chocolate clusters out

with a fork or what ever, and place on waxed paper to dry.

These are really yummy. At the Dairyville Harvest Festival

Alcy and a group of ladies has for many years dipped prunes in the chocolate

mixture for chocolate covered prunes, really yummy. Chocolate covered

cherry flavored dried prunes and regular dried prunes.

The Dairyville Harvest Festival sells these prunes to make money

for the scholarship program.
