Method

Grate the orange rind and remove the white pith. Cut the fruit from between the membranes, and chop. Squeeze the juice from the membranes. Wash, squeeze dry, and chop the raisins.
Combine all ingredients in a heavy-bottomed pan and simmer for about 1 hour, adding fruit juices, such as apple or orange, as needed to keep from sticking. Store as above.
