Yield Makes 6 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 Bartlett pears, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
Juice of 2 lemons
2 1/2 cups dried cherries
1 pound red pearl onions, roots trimmed, peeled, and cut in half lengthwise
1 1/2 cups red-wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss pears with lemon juice.
  • Place cherries, pearl onions, half of the pears, the vinegar, sugar, salt, cloves, and 2 cups water in a low-sided, 6-quart saucepan. Set the saucepan over high heat, and bring liquid to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until fruit is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Increase heat to high; cook until liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir in remaining pears, and reduce heat to low; cook just until pears are heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
  • Transfer to a large bowl set over an ice bath to chill; store in airtight container, refrigerated, for up to 4 weeks.
