    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
  --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1         Tablespoon  neutral vegetable oil
       1/4           cup  minced red onion
    1         Tablespoon  minced hot chile -- or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    2          teaspoons  grated fresh ginger
    2        Tablespoons  light brown sugar
       1/8      teaspoon  salt
    1         Tablespoon  water
    1 3/4           cups  minced canned pineapple -- well drained
       1/2           cup  chopped mixed dried fruit
    2        Tablespoons  apple cider vinegar
   
   
  In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and
  chile. Cover and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger,
  sugar, salt, water, pineapple, and dried fruit and bring to a boil. Reduce
  the heat to low and stir in the vinegar. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring
  frequently. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Taste and
  adjust the seasonings if necessary. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
  Store tightly covered in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a
  week.

  AuthorNote: Sweet-hot chutney is a wonderful condiment, especially with
  Indian meats or to jazz up rice-and-bean dishes or baked or fried tofu,
  tempeh, or seitan. This recipe is extremely versatile. I chose to use the
  combination of canned pineapple and dried fruit simply because they're
  always on hand and available; however, different varieties of fresh fruit
  may be used as well.
   
  VARIATION: Replace canned pineapple with a soft fresh fruit such as
  chopped peaches, mangoes, or apricots. You can also replace the pineapple
  for a firm fresh fruit, such as apples or pears, but you will need to cook
  a bit longer until the fuit softens.
   
  Note: Mixed dried fruit is sold in packages and in bulk in well-stocked
  supermarkets and natural food stores. It usually contains dried apricots,
  plums, and raisins, and sometimes also includes dried apples and dates. If
  unavailable, use raisins (no need to chop these) alone or in combination
  with chopped dates, dried apricots, or other dried fruit.
