GOLDEN PEAR CHUTNEY

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.

GINGER PEAR CHUTNEY



Ginger Pear Chutney image

Great way to use up pears, including recent windfalls as they've got to be peeled and chopped anyway. Nice with pork or as a condiment with curry. Very gingery. It gets better as it ages.

Provided by Kathleen Constance

Categories     Chutneys

Time 2h30m

Yield 12-14 half pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 9

10 cups peeled chopped pears
4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup seedless raisin
1 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
3 cups cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • In large preserving kettle or dutch oven, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours, continuing to stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/8 inch headspace. Add lids and rings and process jars in a boiling water bath in a canner for 15 minutes. Take the canner off the heat and let water stop boiling before removing jars. Carefully remove jars and let sit. As they cool, the jars will seal themselves with a"pop". Label, and store in cool, dry, dark place.
  • To prepare the jars, I first wash them in the dishwasher, or in the sink with very hot, soapy water, then rinse them well and put them in a warm oven, taking the jars out one or two at a time when filling them.
  • I soak the lids in very hot water and put them immediately from the hot water onto the filled jars, making sure the rims of the jars are clean, then add the rings (which I've also soaked in hot water) and screw them on the jars just finger tight.

GOLDEN SAFFRON PEAR CHUTNEY



Golden Saffron Pear Chutney image

A deep coloured, fruity and intensely flavoured chutney. I concocted this recipe last year, when we had lots of windfall pears......and, I slipped a bit of saffron in for good measure! This chutney is delicious with ALL cheeses, but especially strong hard cheeses such as Farmhouse Cheddar, Gruyere, Comte and Cantal. It also goes exceedingly well with cold meats and charcuterie - especially cold roast Ham. Dollop it in sandwiches, add it to curry & cooking sauces.....the list is endless for this fruity chutney! It is always best eaten after at least 1-2 months; the flavours are mature and mellow. (This recipe has been posted as a special dedication for two close friends, one on RecipeZaar and one who sadly passed away recently - may all your pears be saffron pears & all your days be golden.)
