Instructions: Wash and pit cherries; wash, thinly slice and seed the orange. Put cherries and orange slices into a preserving kettle and add the lemon juice and sugar. Cook the mixture, uncovered, about 45 minutes, stirring frequently until it is thick and transparent. Remove from the stove. Skim off the foam with a metal spoon; then add the nuts and the raisins and cook another 10 minutes. Ladle into hot, sterilized jars and seal immediately.
