CRANBERRY AND PEAR CHUTNEY



Cranberry and Pear Chutney image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Cranberry     Pear     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 12-ounce bag of cranberries, picked over
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup raisins
2 pears, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 cup minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan combine the cranberries, the brown sugar, the raisins, the pears, the zest, the gingerroot, the red pepper flakes, the onion, the vinegar, the mustard seeds, and the salt and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the berries have burst. The chutney keeps, covered and chilled, for 2 weeks. Serve the chutney at room temperature.

Tips:

  • To ensure the ham is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a medium-rare ham, 145°F (63°C) for a medium ham, or 150°F (66°C) for a well-done ham.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the ham for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the thickest part of the ham. If the juices run clear, the ham is done. If the juices are still pink, the ham needs to cook longer.
  • To make the glaze, use a combination of honey, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. This will give the ham a sweet and tangy flavor.
  • If you don't have pears or cranberries, you can use other fruits, such as apples, peaches, or cherries.
  • Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Honeyed Ham with Pears and Cranberries is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The ham is tender and juicy, the glaze is sweet and tangy, and the pears and cranberries add a festive touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
