1 vanilla bean, grated
Peel of 1 lemon, grated
1/2 cup raisins, optional

Shell the walnuts. Soak the wheat overnight, covered with water about 1
inch abpve the grain. Put the pot with wheat on the stove and boil it for
2-3 hours on a very low simmer. There should be just enough water in the
pot to keep the wheat from burning. Be sure that the heat is low and watch
very carefully. Add water if necessary. Pour off water and rinse with cold
water. Pour off all liquid. Spread the wheat berries out on kitchen towels
and dry for 2 hours. Place the wheat berries ina food processor and grind
them. Remove the wheat berries to a bowl and then grind the walnuts in the
food processor. Mix the walnuts with the ground wheat. Add 2 cups
granulated sugar, lemon peel, vanilla and the optional ingredients. Mound
in a serving dish and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
