Raisin Chutney

We were out of store-bought chutney, I realized, after making an entire dinner of Indian food. I raided my cookbooks for ideas and came across this recipe. I was in luck: my kitchen always has these ingredients on hand! I couldn't find the cayenne pepper, so I ground black peppercorns instead. It's scrumptious and just too easy!

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 5-10

Ingredients

• 1  cup raisins
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh ginger

• 4  tablespoons water
• 1⁄2 lemon

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender to form a coarse paste adding the lemon juice last.
