Instructions
Rinse the fresh cranberries and set them aside.
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, diced pears, grated ginger, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, orange zest, and water.
Add the cinnamon stick, ground allspice, and salt to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and the chutney thickens.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or seasoning if necessary.
