 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1       lb           Untreated oranges
    3 1/2   c            Sugar
    7       tb           Golden syrup
    2       tb           Coarse salt
      1/4   ts           Dried chilies -- crushed
    6 3/4   c            Malt vinegar
    1       lb           Onions -- chopped
    1       lb           Dates -- stoned and chopped
    1       lb           Raisins
 
   Grate the orange zest and set aside.  Remove the pith
   from the oranges and discard the seeds.  Finely chop
   the orange flesh.  In a large, stainless steel
   saucepan, combine the sugar, syrup, salt, chilies, and
   vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring to
   dissolve the sugar. Add the oranges, onions, dates,
   raisins, and half the grated zest. Reduce the heat and
   simmer until thick, about 1 hour. Stir in the
   remaining orange zest. Spoon into warm, sterilized
   jars. Leave to cool, then seal. Store in a cool, dark
   place.
