5 cups granulated sugar
5 teaspoons unsalted butter
5 teaspoons salt
2-3 cups of raisins
Instructions
Core and peel the apples, and cut tomatoes into chunks. Run the tomatoes and apples through a grinder with a coarse blade. (Do not use a food processor). Add spices and raisins and bring to a boil for 15-20 minutes. Seal in clean jars using the hot pack method. The longer it sets the better the taste.
