After about 5 minutes, turn the pieces over and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate. Pour off all but 2 2 tbs of the fat, and add the onion and the garlic, and saute over medium heat slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the fruit and broth mixture, scraping to loosen any brown bits that are stuck to the bottom and sides of the dutch oven. Season with salt to taste. Transfer the thighs and their juices to the broth. Return to a simmer, then bake uncovered for 25 minutes.
