   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      3/4  Cup           whole dried cherries
      3/4  Cup           hearty red wine or water, warmed
    3                    eggs
    1 1/4  Cups          sugar
      1/4  Cup           sweet butter
   10      Ounces        bittersweet chocolate -- melted
    6      Tablespoons   cocoa
    2      Teaspoons     vanilla extract
    1      teaspoon      baking powder
    3 1/2  cups          unbleached all-purpose flour (or more)
 
 
 Preheat the oven to 325°F.
 
 Place cherries and wine in a small bowl and allow to plump for at least 1 hour.
 
 With a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together until fluffy and light
 yellow. In a separate small sauce pan melt the butter, chocolate and cocoa
 together, add vanilla. Fold into the egg mixture. Drain the cherries and
 stir in.
 
 Mix the baking powder and flour together and beat in until the dough pulls
 away from the sides of the bowl and is just slightly tacky. With floured
 hands, roll into 2 15-inch logs, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Bake on parchment
 paper in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and
 firm to the touch. Remove from oven and cool until logs can be
 cut on the diagonal into 1/4 inch widths. Place biscotti in a single layer
 on baking sheet and return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
 
 Store airtight for up to 1 month.
 
 Yield: Approximately 36 biscotti
