GOLDEN PEAR CHUTNEY



Golden Pear Chutney image

Provided by John Martin Taylor

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Ginger     Onion     Raisin     Pear

Yield Makes 5 pints

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds hard, underripe pears, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 6 cups)
3 cups light or dark brown sugar
3 cups apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/4 pound crystallized ginger, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Quatre-Epices
1 cup dark raisins
1 cup light raisins
2 cups chopped onion
1 lemon, peeled and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Cook the pears in water to cover until they are medium-soft. Drain, saving the water, then make a syrup of the water in which the pears were cooked and the brown sugar by boiling in a large nonreactive pot until thick, about 20 to 30 minutes. While the syrup is boiling, add the remaining ingredients to the pears, then mix everything together and cook for about 30 minutes or until the raisins are softened, the onions are transparent, and the chutney has a good thick consistency. Transfer to sterilized jars and seal; process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use ripe and juicy pears. This will ensure that the chutney has a natural sweetness without being too tart.
  • If you don't have any slivered almonds on hand, you can easily make your own by roughly chopping whole almonds.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the pears. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Be sure to toast the almonds before adding them to the chutney. This will bring out their flavor and add a nice crunch.
  • If you like a spicier chutney, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • The chutney can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Almond pear chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, poultry, or fish. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or crackers. With its sweet and tangy flavor, almond pear chutney is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
