Pear-Apple Chutney image

My mom made this chutney and I asked her for the recipe because I liked it so well. I had no idea it used such a bizzare combination of ingredients. I added it on top of cheese, ham, and crackers. Spi-cy.

I'm not a big fan of chutney, but this recipe was really good! The flavors were well-balanced and it wasn't too sweet.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chutney turned out really runny. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This chutney is the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and savory. I can't wait to serve it at my next party.

I love the idea of using both pears and apples in this chutney. It gives it a really unique flavor.

I had some trouble finding fresh pears, so I used canned pears instead. The chutney still turned out great!

This chutney is a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less ginger and red pepper flakes next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chutney turned out too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I love how this chutney can be made ahead of time. It's a great way to have a homemade condiment on hand for busy weeknights.

This chutney is so easy to make, and it's so versatile! I've used it as a condiment for grilled chicken and fish, and I've also added it to my yogurt parfaits. It's always a hit!

I'm not usually a fan of chutney, but this recipe changed my mind! The combination of pears and apples was perfect, and the spices were just right. I will definitely be making this again.

This pear and apple chutney was a delightful addition to my Thanksgiving feast! I loved the balance of sweet and tart flavors, and the spices gave it a lovely warmth. It was the perfect accompaniment to my roasted turkey and mashed potatoes.
