Peel, core, and dice the pears and apples into small, evenly sized chunks. Finely chop the yellow onion and set everything aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the diced pears, apples, chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, raisins, and water.
Add the cinnamon stick, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir everything together to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 40-45 minutes. Stir every 5-10 minutes to ensure the chutney cooks evenly.
Continue simmering until the fruits are soft, and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.
Taste the chutney and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt or a pinch of sugar for balance).
Allow the chutney to cool completely before transferring it to sterilized glass jars or an airtight container.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite dishes.
