Simple Truffles - the stuff of legends

1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ounces good-quality (70 percent or higher) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (OR) substitute any flavor liquors or brandy
New England ship traders brought cocoa beans back from Venezuela and the West Indies, and many chocolate houses sprung up in cities like Boston and Philadelphia before the Revolutionary War. Products made by the Baker Chocolate Co., which first started in 1780, can still be found on supermarket shelves. Today, the Mars food company produces a line of American Heritage chocolates made in the 18th-century fashion that are sold at CW and museum shops around the country.
Raw cocoa beans were roasted, shelled and tossed in a winnowing basket to remove the final bits of chaff. When the beans were ground, their high-fat content changed them into liquid form when sugar was added.
Modern-day chocolatiers are experimenting with adding bacon, herbs and other ingredients to chocolate bars, but Gay says that's nothing new.
"I can show you 18th-century cookbooks where they added all kinds of spices — cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg — as well as cayenne, orange peel and chili peppers," he says. Cocoa beans also were marinated in jasmine flowers or ambergris, a fragrant substance produced by sperm whales.
