 IE> And now on to the chile-related portion of this note...

 IE> Does anyone have a recipe for a spicy tomato chutney?  A friend of
 IE> mine from India made me some and now she's moved out of town, leaving
 IE> me high and dry! I use it instead of pizza sauce on a hab-laced pizza I
 IE> make.  Mmmmm Good! :) 

Here's a bunch to choose from. None are all that hot but I'm sure you
know how to adjust that.<G>

      Title: Tomato Chutney
 Categories: Indian, Pickles, Relishes
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      1 c  Vinegar
      2    Dried red chilies, soaked
           -- in the vinegar for 2 hrs
      2    Garlic cloves, crushed
    1/2 ts Ginger, grated
      2 tb Sugar, or to taste
      1 lb Tomatoes, sliced
    1/2 c  Dates, stoned & chopped

MMMMM-----------------------SPICE MIXTURE----------------------------
      2    Cloves
      5    Cardamom seeds, remove from
           -- & discard pods
      1    Cinnamon, 1/2" piece
 
  Remove the chilies from the vinegar (after soaking 2 hours), retaining
  this for later use. Grind the soaked chilies with the ginger and
  garlic in a blender. Now put the vinegar, sugar and salt in a large
  pan and bring to a boil. At this point, add the tomatoes, dates and
  the teaspoon of the spice powder. Stir them round and then simmer on a
  moderate heat until the mixture becomes very thick and has the
  consistency you like for chutney. Remove the pan from the heat, allow
  to cool a little and then spoon the chutney into warmed jars. Cover
  and once opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

      Title: Ruby Tomato Chutney
 Categories: Condiments, Canning, Indian
      Yield: 20 servings
 
      2 cn Whole tomatoes -- drained --
           Reserve liquid
  1 1/2 c  Cider vinegar
      1 lg Onion -- chopped
  1 1/2 tb Ginger -- slivered
      5    Cloves garlic -- minced
      1 tb Mustard seed
      2 c  Sugar
    1/8 ts Cayenne pepper
    1/4 c  Raisins
 
  Drain and chop the tomatoes, reserving the liquid. Combine all
  ingredients, with 1 cup of the tomato juice in a heavy saucepan or
  crockpot.  Simmer covered for 1/2 hour.  Stir, then continue to simmer
  over low heat for another hour, so liquid evaporates and gets very
  syrupy (depends on how watery the tomatoes were). As the chutney gets
  done, the tomatoes will get translucent and "ruby" colored.
  
  Store in canning jars or freeze.
