PEAR RELISH



Pear Relish image

This is a great topping for hot dogs, or even tortilla chips. A great way to use extra pears.

Provided by Travis Deck

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Relish Recipes

Time 3h10m

Yield 192

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large pears
3 large onions, coarsely chopped
3 large green bell peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
4 jalapeno peppers, coarsely chopped
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups white sugar
9 ounces prepared mustard
1 tablespoon salt
10 (1 pint) canning jars with lids and rings, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place pears into a large stock pot, add water to cover, and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool. When pears are cool, peel, core, and coarsely chop.
  • Place pears, onions, green bell peppers, and jalapeno peppers into a food processor, working in batches if necessary, and chop the pears and vegetables finely. Transfer pears and vegetables, including any juice, to a large pot.
  • Stir vinegar, sugar, prepared mustard, and salt into the pear mixture and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors have blended and relish is thickened, about 1 hour.
  • Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack pear relish into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for about 20 minutes or the amount of time recommended for your area.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

Tips for Making the Best Pear Relish:

  • Choose ripe, firm pears. Avoid pears that are too soft or mushy, as they will not hold their shape well in the relish.
  • Use a variety of pears. Combining different types of pears, such as Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou, will give your relish a more complex flavor.
  • Peel and core the pears before chopping them. This will help to remove any tough or woody parts of the pears.
  • Chop the pears into small pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings. Common spices and seasonings used in pear relish include mustard seeds, celery seeds, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary.
  • Cook the relish over low heat. This will help to prevent the pears from becoming mushy.
  • Let the relish cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Pear relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled meats, fish, or poultry. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or as a topping for salads. With its sweet and tangy flavor, pear relish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
