1 large or 2 small Spanish onions (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4-inch-thick wedges
1/2 cup raisins
12 pitted prunes, cut lengthwise into strips
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
1 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 tart apples (2 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

Place onion, raisins, prunes, ginger, vinegar, sugar, cumin, salt, and 2 cups water in a low-sided, 6-quart saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil.
Reduce to heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 40 minutes.
Add the apples and 1 1/2 cups water. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples are soft and translucent and liquid has been absorbed, about 50 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
Transfer to a large bowl set over an ice bath to chill, and store in airtight container, refrigerated, up to 4 weeks.
