2 8-ounce packages tamarind (available in Oriental groceries)
2 whole lemons, seeded and chopped
10 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
10 cups chopped green tomatoes
6 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups seeded raisins
1 1/2 cups seeded muscat raisins, cut up
1 1/2 cups peeled, chopped ginger root
1 tablespoon salt, or as desired
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or as desired
4 cups cider vinegar

1
Pour boiling water (about 2 cups) over the tamarind and let stand until cool.
2
Place a sieve over a bowl and work the tamarind in it with your fingers, pressing the pulp through the sieve and leaving the seeds in it.
3
Add hot water as you work to facilitate the separation of seeds from pulp.
4
Put the tamarind pulp and liquid into a deep, heavy pot, add all other ingredients and simmer, uncovered, about 1 hour, or until the mixture is reduced to a saucelike consistency.
5
Put the mixture into sterilized jars, cover with canning lids and bands and process in a water-bath canning kettle for 30 minutes.
6
Cool, tighten bands and store until needed.
