Prune and Hazelnut "Salami"
There's no meat in this fruity snack, but it is shaped like a salami. Toast the nuts in the oven at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, or chop them first, then toast them in a dry frying pan over medium heat. This "salami" will keep in the fridge for up to 1 month.
Ingredients
2 cups ready-to-eat prunes
1/4 teaspoon ground {star anise}
1 teaspoon finely grated {orange zest}
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
3 tablespoons shelled hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Chef Suggestions
For an Apricot and Pistachio variation, simply replace the prunes with dried apricots and the hazelnuts with pistachios.
