CRANBERRY CONSERVE

By shygirl

I’m 95 and I still remember by grandmother from Germany making this lovely, delicious conserve for the holidays. She’d give it to family members and friends. It tastes great served as a relish alongside meat or even spread on biscuits.

Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 2 oranges, peeled, sliced and quartered
• 1 cup of raisins
• 1 ¼ cups water
• 1 cup chopped pecans
