Instructions
In a heavy bottomed frying pan, cook the onions and dried crushed chillies in the olive oil over a medium heat until softened

Without washing out the pan, add the garlic and ginger with half the vinegar, bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes
Add the cooked onion & chilli mix, sugar, Chinese five spice, salt and the remainder of the vinegar
Bring back up to the boil then simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened
Add the redcurrants and simmer for another 5 minutes, or until some of them have burst and the liquid has become syrupy
Remove and pour into a sterilised, 450ml heatproof jar
Screw the lid on tightly while still hot. Once opened, it keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks
