Jacques Pépin's Pear Chutney image

This chutney has a great balance of sweet, savory, sour and fragrant flavors, and is really good with holiday meals. Lasts for weeks in the refrigerator. For best taste, prepare it a few days ahead. From the book, Jacques Pepin Celebrates, 2001. Make sure to have a large jar ready for storing the chutney after cooking.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 teaspoon allspice berry
6 whole cloves
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seed
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3/4 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup molasses (use light molasses)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 lemon, cut in thin slices
1 lb ripe pear, peeled, cored, in 1-inch pieces (about 3, depending on size)

Steps:

  • Grind the allspice, cloves, mustard, coriander and the peppercorns to a powder in a spice-grinder.
  • Transfer to a saucepan, and mix in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, cover, reduce the heat to low, and boil gently for 30 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook about 20 minutes, until most of the juice has evaporated and the chutney is just moist. Transfer to a jar and cool. Cover and refrigerate. Keeps for weeks refrigerated.
