2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup golden raisins

    Peel and core apples, then cut into 1/4-inch pieces.

    Step 2

    Simmer apples with remaining ingredients and 1 teaspoon salt in a large heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until tender and juices have thickened, about 1 hour. Discard bay leaves.

  • Very tasty with pork loin on the grill. Very popular with everyone. Used Fuji apples, because we had them. Cut vinegar in half. I would at least double red pepper flakes, but then I like things a little spicy. Would cut the sugar a little as well.

  • I served this with a pork tenderloin and folks loved it. I changed it a bit. Used 1 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup water because 1 review said it was a bit acidic. I didn't add cloves, raisins or pepper flakes. I also added a little extra ginger and used a large red onion. This needed a good hr to cook. I started it early and it worked out fine.

  • What a pleasant surprise, so full of flavor and really brings out the taste of the pork. I used extra ginger and it was great. Shame it only keeps a few weeks

  • i liked this recipe. it does have a pronounced vinegar flavor though... and the flavors are extremely bold. i made it to go with a pork roast and it was a nice compliment, but almost overpowered the meat.
