Yield Makes about 8 8-ounce glasses

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large oranges, seeded
1/2 lemon, seeded
3 pounds blue plums, pitted and quartered
1/2 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup light raisins
4 cups sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Grind the oranges and 1/2 lemon in a meat grinder, using the coarsest blade. Combine all the ingredients, except the nuts, in a large pot. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Cook over medium heat until the conserve thickens. Remove from heat, stir in nuts and pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with a thin layer of melted paraffin. When hardened, cover glasses and store.
