Categories     Pears

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup spiced rum
1 cup white sugar
1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds
3 medium bartlett pears, slightly underripe
2 medium tomatoes, fully ripened, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch chunks

Steps:

  • In a medium nonreactive saucepan, stir together the vinegar, spiced rum, sugar, onions, ginger and mustard seeds until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil over high heat. Adjust heat so the mixture boils gently and cook for 15 minutes to reduce the mixture slightly. Remove pan from the heat.
  • Peel and core the pears. Cut them into 1/4 inch chunks.
  • Immediately stir the pear chunks into the vinegar mixture to prevent discolouring.
  • Return the saucepan to the heat. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium high heat. Add the tomatoes. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 50 minutes longer, or until the pears have cooked down and are softened but still retain some shape. (The chutney will be just slightly fluid but will thicken when chilled.) Let cool briefly.
  • Pour the chutney into glass storage jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until thoroughly chilled and slightly thickened.

DR. JIM'S TOMATO, PEACH AND PEAR CHUTNEY



Dr. Jim's Tomato, Peach and Pear Chutney image

My brother in law invented this recipe. It is probably the best chutney I've ever eaten, no kidding! This recipe requires that you boil your jars and lids in preparation for canning. You will need 4 pint size glass jars. Once the chutney is in the sterilized jars they should be processed for 5 minutes in a hot water bath....

2 lb paste tomatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large ripe peaches, pitted and peeled and cubed
2 lb ripe pears, cored and peeled and cubed
2 large green peppers, seeded, peeled and chopped
2 c light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1 c white vinegar
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp dry mustard
3 dash(es) tabasco sauce, or to taste
1- 4 oz. jar(s) diced pimentos

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare your tomatoes, peaches and pears. You should have around 8 cups.
  • 2. Place the peaches and pears in a 5 quart pot along with the peppers, sugar, vinegar, salt, ginger, mustard and Tabasco sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  • 3. Add the tomatoes and reduce the heat to medium gentle boil uncovered and stir often until the mixture is thicker, about 1 hour. Stir in the pimentos. Boil gently for another 10-15 minutes.
  • 4. Put into your prepared jars. Make sure you clean the rim of each jar so there isn't any chutney on it. Seal the jars just hand tight and process for at least 15 minutes in hot water. Store in the fridge until use.
  • 5. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes and pears. This will ensure that your chutney has the best possible flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices to create a complex flavor profile. Some good options include cumin, coriander, ginger, and garlic.
  • Cook the chutney until it has reached the desired consistency. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Canning is an optional step, but it will help to preserve your chutney for longer.
