In a large saucepan, combine the apples, currants, tomatoes, onions, honey, vinegar, water, garlic, mustard seeds, pepper, and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Slice the lime into 4 lengthwise wedges. Cut each wedge into thin crosswise slices. Add to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium low.

Cool, then refrigerate in a covered container for several days to allow the flavors to develop.
