Ingredients

　　2 cups sugar

　　3 cups cider vinegar

　　2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot

　　2 1/2 teaspoons salt

　　1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds, crushed lightly

　　1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes

　　3 pounds plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and quartered

　　3 onions, chopped

　　1 cup golden raisins

　　In a large heavy saucepan combine the sugar, the vinegar, the gingerroot, the salt, the coriander seeds, and the red pepper flakes and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the tomatoes, the onions, and the raisins and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until it is thickened. Let the chutney cool and transfer it to a bowl or jars. The chutney keeps, covered and chilled, for 3 weeks.
