Ingredients

• 1 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 1 small, finely chopped shallot
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the raisins, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, finely chopped shallot, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and water.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and evenly mix the ingredients.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced slightly and the relish has thickened.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature. The mixture will thicken further as it cools.

Step 5

Transfer the relish to a jar or airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Step 6

Serve the raisin relish chilled or at room temperature as a condiment alongside roasted meats, cheeses, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches.
