AUTUMN APPLE-PEAR CHUTNEY



Autumn Apple-Pear Chutney image

This deeply spiced chutney is one of the last things I make each fall. I love it alongside roasted root vegetables and in place of applesauce with Hanukkah latkes. I don't typically peel pears, but if yours have tough, pebbly skin, you might want to peel them.

Provided by Marisa McClellan

Time 1h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ pounds apples - peeled, cored, and diced
1 ½ pounds pears - peeled, cored, and diced
1 large yellow onion, minced
2 cups cider vinegar
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups dried cherries
1 lemon, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
  • Combine apples, pears, onion, vinegar, sugar, cherries, lemon, mustard seeds, salt, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and cloves in a wide, nonreactive 4-quart pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once it bubbles, reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring often, until mixture is thickened and a spoon drug through leaves a trail that doesn't fill in immediately, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the cooking, make sure to stir every minute or so to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
  • Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more chutney if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
  • Wipe jar rims, apply lids and rings (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  • Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: Use ripe, firm pears for the best flavor and texture in your chutney.
  • Use fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a refreshing, herbaceous flavor to the chutney. If you don't have fresh mint, you can substitute dried mint, but use half the amount.

  • Serve the chutney warm or cold: Pear and mint chutney can be served warm or cold. It's a great accompaniment to grilled or roasted meats, fish, or vegetables.
  • Store the chutney in a sealed jar in the refrigerator: The chutney will keep for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Pear and mint chutney is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy pears, give this chutney a try!
