Explanation: I think you are referring to the Bergamot. Many cookbooks have the recipe name in Greek and explain below in brackets. Not sure if this is the case here, but here's a suggestion.
"glyko karidi" "green walnut preserve" The Complete Middle East Cookbook Tess Mallos A bitter orange hybrid is the Bergamot orange, which is a cross between a bitter orange and the Palestine sweet lime, and, according to some, should have been named the bergamont lemon. http://http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/fruits/orange.ht...
While at the beginning loukoumi had only one taste, as the years went by, new varieties appeared with new tastes like that of mastic, rose, bergamot, mandarin, coconut, almond, pistachio, walnut, etc. http://www.cycladesbest.org/diet/diet.htm

Ως sweet tooth γνωστό, η γνώμη μου είναι να κρατήσεις την απόδοση στα Ελληνικά -το κάνουν τα περισσότερα καλά cookbooks- και να δώσεις ένα ωραίο \"Naxos\' citron preserve\" ή \"sour orange preserve\". Αποφεύγεις το περγαμόντο και έχεις και σωστές αποδόσεις. Τώρα το που θα τα βρούμε τα νερατζολέμονα, όταν δημοσιευτεί το cookbook είναι ένα θέμα. ¨-(

Monarda punctata L. Lemon bergamot, Monarda citriodora Cerv. (formerly classified as Monarda pectinata Nutt, or lemon mint) is an annual or short-lived perennial native to the midwestern and western United States. As the common name suggests, the plant is noted for a lemony scent, which comes from the citral and carvacrol in its volatile oil. http://paridss.usask.ca/specialcrop/commodity/herb_spice/tou...
Αs for citrus autantium (bergamia), whether you call it a lemon bergamot, an orange bergamot or simply bergamot... it\'s pretty much the same fruit. Usually by \"lemon bergamot\" we refer to monarda punctata. Many species are native to a particular land, many have two or three names, and many none at all in languages of .... distant places. http://www.plantnames.unimelb.edu.au/Sorting/Citrus_1.html

The lemon bergamot in my link http://neptune.lunarpages.com/~mindsc1/stuff/citrus.htm has nothing to do with Californian mints. It produces lemon-like fruit (in Sicily) but they seem to be used for their essence, not for preserves.
