Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe pears
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 pod vanilla bean
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small chunks. Set aside.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife. Reserve both the seeds and the pod.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced pears, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla seeds, vanilla pod, and water.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pears begin to soften, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the fresh raspberries to the saucepan and gently stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are tender and the relish thickens slightly.
Remove the vanilla pod and discard it.
Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar or a splash of lemon juice, if desired.
Let the relish cool to room temperature before serving or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
