2 (20 oz.) cans crushed pineapple, undrained
2 c. seedless golden raisins
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of cayenne pepper
3 drops Tabasco sauce
1/4 c. chopped almonds (optional)

Combine all ingredients in order except the nuts, using a good-sized kettle, and place over moderate heat and bring to boiling. Reduce heat to the lowest setting that will keep the mixture simmering and cook for about 45 minutes more, stirring frequently. Add the nuts and cook 5 minutes longer. Seal in hot sterilized jars. Makes about 3 pints.
