Lovely with any pork dish, this pear chutney can also be used as a spread on a panini, or spooned over cream cheese or goat cheese and eaten with crackers.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups large-diced Bartlett pears
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup medium-diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup golden raisins
  • 2 tablespoons small-diced ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 10 whole allspice berries

Preparation

In a heavy-bottomed sauce pot, add the pears, sugar, vinegar, onion, raisins, ginger and chili flakes. Secure the cinnamon stick and allspice in cheesecloth, and add to the pot.

Bring to a simmer, and then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for approximately 1–1½ hours or until slightly syrupy and about 3 cups in volume. Remove cheesecloth and discard cinnamon stick and allspice berries.

Chill chutney before using, and store refrigerated for up to 10 days.
