                        Vegetable oil for sauteing onions (abt 2T)
   2      large         onions -- diced small
   1      medium        red bell pepper -- diced small
   6      tablespoons   brown sugar
     1/4  cup           white sugar
   1      tablespoon    molasses
     1/4  cup           raisins
     1/2  cup           orange juice
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly cracked black pepper
     1/2  teaspoon      coriander seeds (lightly toasted) -- cracked
     1/2  cup           white vinegar
   2      tablespoons   lemon juice  (about 1/2 lemon)
   1      teaspoon      freshly chopped mint

Preparation:

Split the fruits in half, rub them lightly with vegetable oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them in a single layer on a cooling rack set on top of a sheet pan, and slow bake in a 200 degree overnight, or for about 8 hours. The finished products should be about half the size of the originals, wrinkled and slightly firm to the touch, but with no dramatic change of color. In a heavy saute pan or saucepan, saute the onions in w tablespoons of vegetable oil until transparent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the dried fruits and stir and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients except the vinegar, lemon juice, and mint. Fring to a simmer, and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a small amount of water or orange juice if the mixture begins to stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat, allow to cool, and add the vinegar, lemon juice, and mint. Mix well and serve. Makes about 4 cups. This chutney will keep, covered and refrigerated about 3 weeks.
