This pungent East Indian relish goes well with any number of main courses, and it will last for weeks in the refrigerator.
Makes 9 cups
• 5 cups wild currants or gooseberries
• 2 cups raisins
• 1 1/2 cups apple Juice
• 2 medium-site red onions, chopped
• 1 cup of red wine vinegar

• 2 teaspoons chili paste or 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon mellow (light-colored) miso
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
