1 Recipe strudel pastry
1 cup Walnuts, chopped roughly
One half cup Hazelnuts, chopped roughly
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
One fourth cup Candied citron
One fourth cup Semisweet chocolate pieces,
roughly chopped
One fourth cup Currants, soaked 1 hour In
One half Cup Verduzzo Wine
One half cup Verduzzo wine
2 Eggs separated, yolks beaten
until stiff
One fourth cup Sugar, plus 3 T

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.

In a large mixing bowl, combine walnuts, hazelnuts, lemon zest, orange
zest, candied citron, chocolate pieces, currants, soaking liquid and stir
to combine. Add egg whites and One fourth cup sugar and fold together. Roll pastry
out to a 10 by 16inch rectangle and position the longest side parallel to
the work surface edge. Spoon the filling over the pastry evenly, leaving 2
inches uncovered at the north end. Roll the pastry up like a jelly roll
from south to north so it appears to be a thick pipe. Make a circle of the
pipe by attaching the two open ends like a wreath. Brush with beaten eggs
yolks and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake 50
minutes. Allow to cool before cutting. Serve with Verduzzo wine.

Yield: 4 servings
