Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Pears (ripe, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest (finely grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced pears, fresh cranberries, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the minced ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, orange zest, and salt to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.
If using raisins, stir them in at this point.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cranberries have burst and the chutney has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the chutney and adjust the seasoning, adding more brown sugar if a sweeter flavor is desired or more vinegar for extra tanginess.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool to room temperature. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
Transfer the chutney to a sterilized jar or airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a condiment for roasted meats, cheese platters, or as a spread for sandwiches.
