How to Make Jacques Ppin S Pear Chutney

  1. Grind 1 teaspoon allspice berries, 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon black peppercorns into a fine powder using a spice grinder.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the ground spices with 2 pounds ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and chopped; 1 large onion, finely chopped; 1 cup cider vinegar; 1 cup brown sugar; 1/2 cup raisins; 1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger; 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional); and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
  4. Uncover the saucepan and continue to cook for another 20-25 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chutney reaches a thick, jam-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Carefully transfer the hot chutney to a sterilized jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
  6. Let the chutney cool completely before sealing the jar tightly.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Keeps for several weeks in the refrigerator.
