4 1/2 c. finely chopped tart red apples (about 3 lb.)
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. lemon juice
1/2 c. raisins
1 pkg. powdered pectin
5 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. chopped nuts

To prepare fruit: Wash apples, remove stem and blossom ends and core. Do not peel. Chop fine. To make conserves: Combine apples, water, lemon juice and raisins in large kettle. Add pectin and stir well. Over high heat, stirring constantly, bring quickly to full boil with bubbles all over the surface. Add sugar, continue stirring and bring again to full boiling boil. Boil rapidly for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add nuts. Remove from heat. Skim and stir to prevent floating. Fill and seal containers; process five minutes in boiling water bath. Makes 6 to 7 1/2 pints.
