Cover saucepan, bring to boil, and let stand for 12 minutes. Drain eggs, peel, and cut in quarters. Steam carrots in small amount of water until tender. Drain carrots, peel, and cut in 1/4-inch-thick strips. Set carrot strips aside. Combine ground pork, raisins, remaining raw egg (Add 1 more egg for firmer meat roll), and capers. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. Divide mixture into 2 portions. Rinse and drain caul fat. Divide in half. Spread 1 portion onto 12x8-inch sheet, doubling sheet or patching holes. Pat meat mixture over caul fat into about 11x7-inch rectangle. Place half of prosciutto slices over meat. Arrange half of hard-cooked egg wedges and half of carrot and cheese strips in rows lengthwise over meat. Roll up meat mixture into log, seal edges, then wrap with caul flat. Twist ends of caul fat and tuck under to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients for second roll. Place both rolls on foil-lined, 13x9-inch baking pan. Pour chicken broth over rolls. Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil cover, baste rolls and continue baking, uncovered, 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
