   1       lb           Cooking apples
   1       lb           Onion, chopped
   2                    Garlic cloves, crushed
     3/4   c            Golden raisins
   2       ts           Salt
   1 1/2   c            Sugar
   2 1/2   c            Malt vinegar
     1/4   ts           Cayenne pepper
     1/4   ts           Ground cumin
     1/4   ts           Ground ginger
   1       t            Mustard seeds
     1/4   ts           Dry mustard
   1       tb           Tomato paste

  Peel, core and coarsely chop apples.
  
  Put apples, onions, garlic and raisins into a
  saucepan. Add salt, sugar, vinegar and spices and mix
  well. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve sugar.
  
  Bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes, stirring
  occasionally. Stir in tomato paste and continue
  cooking 7-8 minutes longer or until mixture is of a
  thick consistency with very little free liquid,
  stirring frequently. Meanwhile, wash 3 pint jars in
  hot soapy water; rinse. Keep hot until needed. Prepare
  lids as manufacturer directs. Ladle chutney into 1 hot
  jar at a time, leaving 1/4" headspace. Release trapped
  air. Wipe rim of jar with a clean damp cloth. Attach
  lid and place in canner. Fill and close remaining
  jars. Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water bath.
  
  Makes about 3 pint jars.
  
  NOTE: This chutney improves if stored at least 3 weeks
  before serving. Garnish with an Italian parsley sprig,
  if desired, and serve as an accompaniment to curries
  or with crusty bread and cheese.
