Raspberry Orange Walnut Conserves

This is a recipe that I have made several times now and have fallen in love with it. Below are the ingredients that you will need to make them.

4 ½ Cups of Raspberries.(these can be fresh,or thawed out frozen ones.

2 Cups of oranges that have been peeled and put in a blender, food processor, or chopped fine. This is just the meat of the orange with no pith or peel.

8 ½ Cups of white sugar.

1 Box of pectin.

1 Cup of chopped walnuts.

1 Tablespoon of the grated zest from the oranges you just cut up.

1 teaspoon butter.


Place the crushed berries, oranges, butter, and pectin in a large pot. Cook this over medium heat until it reaches a full boil that cannot be stirred down. To this mixture add all the sugar at one time and return to a boil. Add the zest, nuts, and boil at a full rolling boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and ladle into clean sterile jars. Fill the jars to ¼ inch from the top. Wipe the rims clean and place hot lids and bands that have been finger tightened onto the jars. Place in a rack in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Remove jars carefully and place on a towel to cool out of all drafts. Cool for 24 hours. Check for seals.
