RHUBARB AND PINEAPPLE CONSERVE 
4 c. prepared fruit (2 lb.)
7 c. sugar
1/2 lb. seeded raisins
1 tbsp. grated orange rind
1 c. finely chopped nut meats
1 bottle Certo

To prepare fruit, use 1 (#2) can crushed pineapple. Slice thin or chop (do not peel) about 1 pound red stalked rhubarb. Combine fruits and measure 4 cups into large saucepan. Add rind.

To make conserve: Add sugar, nut meats, and raisins to fruit in saucepan and mix well. Place over high heat; bring to a full rolling boil, and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and at once stir in Certo. Then stir and skim by turns for 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle quickly into glasses. Paraffin at once. Makes about 11 (6 ounce) glasses.
