December Jam

Ingredients

• 3 lb. prunes
• 3 lb. raisins
• 3 oranges
• 3 lb. sugar
• 3/4 lb. chopped nuts meat (opt.)

Directions

Cook prunes and remove seeds, pour 2 cups water over seeds and let stand 1 hour. Strain. Combine this liquid with that in which prunes were cooked. Add prunes, raisins, sugar and oranges (which have been cut in thin slices). Cook 25 minutes. Add nutmeats and cook 10 minutes longer. This makes 16 glasses and provides an excellent filling for cakes or sauce for ice cream.
