Hector and Aimee Diaz

3/4 cup organic cane sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon course sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon Hector’s Smoked Habanero Hot Sauce
2 cans (16-ounce) whole cranberry sauce  (or, I like to use 32 ounces of fresh cranberries and simmer them for 40 minutes with a 1/2 cup of orange juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar)
1 cup golden raisins

Bring everything to boil except for the cranberry sauce and raisins. While it’s boiling, add the sauce and raisins and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Put into hot, sterilized jars and seal or store in the refrigerator. Makes three medium-sized jars.
