- ½ small green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 6 cardamom pods
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped crystallized ginger

- In a medium-size, heavy saucepan, combine the pineapple, onion, bell pepper, sugar, vinegar, cardamom, ginger, and raisins and let sit until very juicy, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
