1 Cup Tamarind
1 cup sultanas
1 cup Currants

3 Orange Habanero Chiles stemmed and seeded

Recipe
Put wet stuff and sweet stuff in a big pot- stainless
Vinegars, sugar and marmalade..
bring to boil add onions, garlic, sweet potato, ginger root, slow boil
10 minutes add rest of solids and dry stuff slow boil for 30-40 minutes
adding more vinegar ( i used white as it was all i had left- Malt would
have probably been better)..
During last 5 minutes add Secret stuff ( Tony Flynns OJ Hab Powder/ I
have a small quantity left. Thanks Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Cambells or Calvins for the Merkins on list..
Bottle in sterilised jars..
Makes about 1 Gallon US or 4 Litres maybee a tad more..
#Tip sterise them in a Microwave and just pour boiling water on the
lids, let cool and fill..
This stuff should keep for yrs, my problem is friends coming over and
wanting a Jar..
as the old song goes .. " God Damm the Pusher Man"

Putting chiles where they belong, ( in every citizens house )
Diatribe follows
The Vinegars I used came in a fancy holder and were from some company in
the USA/ purchased Locally..
The Cherry Vinegar tasted like it was made with 50% flavouring but it
boiled out..
I would have probably used Malt Vinegar but had none so went to the
pantry...
