might like to try putting up a
few glasses of grape conserve, i

glasses.

lemons. Thinly slice orange and I

to grape mixture with fruit juice, j
Cook until thick, about 40 min
utes. Add nutmeats, seal in hot
sterilized jars. Makes 14 six
ounce glasses.

with this combination, you’ll find
you have a delicious spread.
