Place all the dried fruit (not the oranges or lemons) in a large pot and cover with water by 1-inch, let stand overnight (I place it in the fridge, but you don’t need to).
The next day, slice the oranges and lemons into 1/2-inch slices and then in half moons, place in the pot with the dried fruit.
Bring the pot to a boil and let boil for 1-2 minutes, turn the heat off and let cool.
Serve immediately or within one week.It gets better as it sits so it is a great thing to do a few days ahead of time.
