 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      whole         head of garlic, peeled -- coarsely chopped
    1      pc            fresh ginger root -- peeled and chopped
   12      ozs           red wine vinegar
    2      cans          whole tomatoes -- (14 oz)
      3/4  lb            granulated sugar
    1 1/2  tsps          salt
      1/2  tsp           cayenne pepper
    2      tbsps         golden raisins
    2      tbsps         blanched almonds -- slivered
 
 Put the chopped garlic, ginger and 4 oz. of the vinegar into an electric
 blender and blend at high speed until smooth.
 
 In a 3 qt. heavy, non-reactive pot, place the tomatoes and juice from the can,
 remaining vinegar, sugar, salt and cayenne pepper; bring to a boil.  Add puree
 from the blender.  Lower heat and simmer gently, uncovered, for about 1 1/2-2
 hours or until thick.  Stir occasionally at first, and more frequently as it
 thickens.  You should end up with about 1 pint of chutney.
 
 Add the almonds and raisins.  Simmer, stirring another 5 min.  Turn heat off
 and allow to cool.  Bottle and keep refrigerated.
