Ingredients

  • 2 cans whole tomatoes, drained, reserving liquid
  • 1-1/2 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 lg. onion, chopped
  • 1-1/2 tbsp. slivered ginger
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. mustard seeds
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Method

  • Drain and chop the tomatoes, reserving the liquid.
  • Combine all ingredients with 1 cup of the tomato juice in a heavy saucepan or crockpot.
  • Simmer, covered, for 1/2 hour.
  • Stir, then continue to simmer over low heat for another hour so liquid evaporates and gets very syrupy (depends on how watery the tomatoes were).
  • As the chutney gets done, the tomatoes will get translucent and ruby colored.
  • Store in canning jars or freeze.
