1/4 cup Golden raisins 

1/4 cup minced red bell pepper 

2 tsp Grated fresh ginger 

1 tsp lemon juice 

Add all ingredients to a large pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmering gently until thickened, around an hour. Ladle into hot sterilized jars to 1/2 inch headspace, wipe rims, put on lids and finger tight. Process half pint jars for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. .Allow to sit for at least three weeks for flavors to penetrate and mellow before opening. Will stay good in dark cabinet unopened for one year. 

Yields just over 3 half pint jars
