  3. 1/3 cup raisins
  4. 1/3 cup dried cranberries or cherries
  5. 2/3 cup dried apricots

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl combine all of the dried fruit and add enough hot water to cover by an inch. Soak for 20 minutes. Drain the mixture.
  2. In a saucepan combine the fruit with the sugar, the lemon and orange zests, the lemon juice, and the water and bring to a boil.
