Instructions
-
Combine pears, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, raisins, lemon, ginger, garlic, chile, salt, allspice, pepper, coriander, and cloves in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat for simmering.
-
Continue simmering, stirring often, for about 30 minutes until pears soften and begin to break down. If the mixture is too liquid, increase heat to high and cook until a spoon drawn across the pot bottom leaves a clear trail for a few seconds.
-
Cool the chutney, then transfer to airtight containers for refrigeration or freezing, or proceed with a canning process for long-term storage.
