Pear Chutney 🍐

Quick, easy and super delicious!

Honestly, I’ve never made chutney before in my life, but this one turned out phenomenal. I had two soft pears sitting on the counter, and since I’ve been completely obsessed with my 5-minute jam recipes lately, I thought… why not try it with pears too? I mean, what could go wrong? 😄

…But since I was already slicing onions for another recipe, I decided to make chutney out of it, and I’m so glad I did!

Ingredients

🍐 2 ripe pears

🧅 half an onion

🍋 lemon juice

🍯 honey

🧄 garlic powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger to taste

Method

1. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a little olive oil until soft and fragrant

2. Add the spices: garlic powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger

3. Dice the pears into small cubes and add them to the pan, stirring over medium heat until they start to release their juices

4. Drizzle with lemon juice and add honey to taste

5. Cover and let it simmer until it thickens and has a glossy texture

Just like with jam, spoon it into small jars, it keeps for a few days in the fridge (though trust me, it won’t last that long 😅).

You can adjust the flavor to your liking, I added plenty of ginger for a little kick and didn’t hold back on the honey either. That’s what makes it truly rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, just how a chutney should be.

It’s perfect with meats, grilled dishes, or even salmon. Of course, I made mine to serve with baked camembert, and let me tell you, it was an absolutely divine combo. 😍

Tag me if you try it! 💛
