Sour Cherry Conserves

Three pounds of cherries, three pounds of granulated sugar, one pound of seeded raisins, three oranges, one lemon, three-fourths of a pound of walnuts; squeeze juice of oranges, grate rind of lemon, then cook one and one-half hours; cut walnuts in small pieces and put in after taking from fire. This is good made from any fruit.
