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.

The chutney was good, but I found it to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This chutney is a great way to use up ripe pears. It's also a nice change of pace from traditional apple chutney.

I'm not a big fan of chutney, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and it has a nice spicy kick.

This chutney is amazing! It's so easy to make and the flavor is incredible. I've already made it twice and I'm sure I'll be making it many more times.

This chutney is delicious! I love the combination of pears, ginger, and spices. It's the perfect condiment for roasted meats or chicken.

This chutney is a keeper! It's easy to make and the flavors are out of this world. I used it as a glaze for grilled salmon and it was a hit. Will definitely be making this again.

I've made this chutney twice now and it's become a family favorite. It's so versatile - I've served it with roasted pork, chicken, and cheese. It's also great on crackers or toast. Highly recommend!

This pear chutney was an absolute delight! It had the perfect balance of sweet and tart, with a lovely hint of spice. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a match made in heaven. 5 stars all the way!
