 You know I am make it up as I go along cook. But I did put
a pint of  malt vinegar to which I dissolved 1 tablespoon of Tamarind
plus a teas ginger
  teas sea salt
1/2 teas mace
a teasp alspice
 
2 apples peeled cored and chopped small
1 carrot also chopped very small actually
I chopped that up in the food proccessor
  2 large tomatoes skinned and seeded and chopped small
from here I chopped every thing small
1 mangoe
2 gourgettes
  about a handful cauliflower into tiny flowers,
  1 large onion
A good shake of tomato sauce (ketchup) It will tak a couple of hours to cook down and it will spit out a lot near the end, my once was a cream T shirt is now brown speckled.
    The veggies  all went with the vinegar  and cooked slow to start then turn the heat up and stir cook it intill it thicken and reduces down till you have no liquid on top of veggies it is all one mass, WATCH AS IT WILL BURN QUICK..
pot it, cool it, and label, keep for 2 months to mature.   
  If you want to put other fruit or veggie in it, do it. or if you want to change some, do it.
   I have been told that I could cut down on the cooking time by thickening with corn starch. But I don't like that idea.. so I cook it down.. qahtan
