APPLE BACON CHUTNEY
This chutney has so much flavor. Great served over pancakes, waffles or even spread on a savory scone. Serving is a guess as I have never really measured how much the recipe makes.

BACON, APPLE, AND PEAR CHUTNEY
This goes wonderful over chicken and served with steamed rice. Feel free to add more cinnamon and nutmeg as your taste allows. I also used Splenda instead of sugar to make less traumatic to my dietary needs. I also left the peelings on but if you like you can remove them.

Steps:
- 1. Core and cube apples and pears. Place into a slightly warmed skillet set on medium heat (about 6-8 on my stove). Add lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar until it just starts to boil. Add your cold water, and allow to come to a rolling boil.
- 2. Once it reaches a rolling boil, slowly add cinnamon, allspice, cloves, lemon juice and red ground pepper while stirring with a wooden spoon. Return to rolling boil then add in your Splenda and Brown Sugar. Add Bacon to mixture.
- 3. Low Boil over medium to low heat for about 20 min. Serve over chicken or pork. You can also pour it over chicken or pork during the last 15 min. of baking for a glaze.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: For this chutney, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn work best, as they hold their shape well during cooking and provide a nice balance to the sweetness of the other ingredients.
- Use good quality bacon: The bacon is a key flavor component in this chutney, so it's important to use good quality, thick-cut bacon. Avoid bacon that is too fatty or streaky.
- Don't overcook the onions: The onions should be cooked until they are softened and translucent, but not browned. If you overcook them, they will become bitter.
- Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar adds a rich, complex flavor to the chutney. Make sure to use a good quality vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years.
- Let the chutney mature: The chutney will taste best if you let it mature for at least 2 weeks before eating. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
Conclusion:
Apple bacon chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for adding a sweet and savory flavor to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables. It can also be used as a spread for sandwiches or crackers, or as a topping for salads. With its complex flavors and easy-to-make recipe, apple bacon chutney is a great addition to any home cook's repertoire.
