** Use canned chilis if preferred.
Combine sugars, vinegar, ginger, garlic and salt in a large non-reactive
sauce pan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

NOTES : Works as a dip with vegetables or crackers or along side roast
meats and poultry. It keeps in the refrigerator for months, an important
quality for Nancy, who no longer does any canning.
