Pour boiling water over pistachios, almonds, and walnuts in a bowl.

Let the nuts sit for 5 minutes to loosen their skins.

Drain the nuts and set aside to cool slightly.

Rub off the skins of the cooled nuts using a tea towel.

Rinse the black raisins and apricots in a colander.

Place all the ingredients (pistachios, almonds, walnuts, black raisins, golden raisins, apricot, sweet red cherries, sugar, and rose water) in a large saucepan.

Cover the ingredients with water.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once boiling, remove from heat and let cool completely.

Transfer the cooled Haf-Miwah to a container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
