Not Your Ordinary Chili

I thought this chili was pretty good. I like sweet chili. This is a recipe I will use again, but next time I will omit the raisins. They didn't look very good and I don't think they added anything. Plus, my dinner guests were a little freaked out by them. I served over egg noodles, added a dash of ground cloves, and sour cream, hot sauce, and cheddar cheese on the side.

As written we didn't care for this, it was too liquid and too sweet for us. I cooked it down for several hours and it was still too liquid. After refrigerating overnight, I adjusted by adding 2 tbs of tomato paste and 1 tbs Worstershire sauce and cooked it for another hour. It was better, but still needs a bit more heat to temper the sweetness.

This had a very different taste to it... but I liked it
