3 lbs zucchini, ends trimmed, cut into very thin rounds about 1/8 inch thick
2 red onions, about the size of baseballs peeled and cut into thin slices
3 -4 colorful chilies, of your choice, cut into thin rounds

1 teaspoon whole cloves
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 piece fresh ginger, the size of your thumb, peeled and cut into thin disks

In a large nonreactive bowl, combine the zucchini, onions, chilies, and salt and let stand for 1 hour.
Drain and rinse twice to remove the salt, then add the grapes and set aside.
In a medium nonreactive saucepan, bring all the remaining ingredients except the ginger to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring once or twice to dissolve the sugar.
Pour the hot liquid over the zucchini mixture; the zucchini should be amply covered or slightly afloat.
