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.

This chutney is way too spicy for my taste. I had to add a lot of sugar to make it palatable.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can never get it to set properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I followed the recipe exactly but my chutney turned out too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This chutney is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I appreciate the unique flavor that the pears add.

I was skeptical about making a chutney with pears, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. It's absolutely delicious! The pears give it a unique and interesting flavor, and the spices are perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.

This chutney is amazing! It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the pears add a wonderful texture. I've used it on sandwiches, crackers, and even as a glaze for roasted chicken. It's always a crowd-pleaser.
