Tomato Chutney With Golden Raisins

Ingredients

• 3 lbs plum tomatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 inches piece fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 large red onion, diced fine
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 3/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup golden raisin

Directions

1. 1

   Place all ingredient except the raisins into a heavy saucepan. Simmer, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated and sauce is thick and syrupy--about 45 minutes.

2. 2

   Stir in the raisins and cook for another 5-10 minutes until plump. Note that chutney will thicken as it cools (it will become the consistency of strawberry jam once it cools).

3. 3

   Pour into clean jars, cover and refrigerate for up to three weeks. Alternatively, freeze or pour into sterile jars and seal---keeps up to one year.
