- Yields about 10 half-pints.
Notes
From Acacia: I made this recently with a few adjustments. I used a combination of orange zest and orange peel rather than all peel; instead of raisins I had a dried fruit combination of cherries, cranberries, and blueberries on hand; I didn't have pecans so I used a mixture of walnuts and hazelnuts; and I noted that the pulp from 3 medium oranges was short, so 2 large or 4 medium is about the right volume.
I often bring a jar of this to parties to accompany homemade cheese crackers and it's the most popular item there!
