Preparation
- Step 1
Pour boiling water (about 2 cups) over the tamarind and let stand until cool. Place a sieve over a bowl and work the tamarind in it with your fingers, pressing the pulp through the sieve and leaving the seeds in it. Add hot water as you work to facilitate the separation of seeds from pulp.
- Step 2
Put the tamarind pulp and liquid into a deep, heavy pot, add all other ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, or until the mixture is reduced to a saucelike consistency.
- Step 3
Put the mixture into sterilized jars, cover with canning lids and bands and process in a water-bath canning kettle for 30 minutes. Cool, tighten bands and store until needed.

I searched and searched for my ideal Green Tomato Chutney recipe. This came closest. I wanted one with lots of subtlety and flavor. The onion,garlic, ginger, lemon and tamarind gave that to me. I wanted more spices, so I sdded 3 long cinnamon sticks, a teaspoon of ground coriander, a teaspoon each of toasted black mustardseed, and a teaspoon of roasted cuminseed. It is my idea of perfect, now.
Any ideas where I might buy seeded muscat raisins?
