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.

Cover with a thin layer of melted paraffin. When hardened, cover glasses and store.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful plums. Look for plums that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep, rich color.
  • Use a variety of plums. This will give your conserve a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of tart and sweet plums.
  • Add other fruits or spices to your conserve. This can help to enhance the flavor and make it more unique. Some popular additions include apples, cinnamon, and ginger.
  • Cook the conserve until it reaches the desired consistency. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the recipe. Be sure to stir the conserve frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pot.
  • Store the conserve in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and quality.
