Pear Chutney

This chutney is really fantastic. It tastes really great with any type of blue cheese.

Ingredients:

• 400 ml apple vinegar
• olive oil
• 2 red onions, chopped
• 1,5 kg pears, peeled and cut into cubes
• 5 cm fresh ginger root, medium chopped
• 2 Tbsp crushed chili pepper flakes, or more or less taste
• 300 g cane sugar
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 200 g raisins
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onions, garlic, ginger and chilli. Fry for 10 minutes.
Add sugar, apple vinegar, raisins, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and pears. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook for 40 minutes or until pears are soft.
Let the chutney cool for 20 minutes and pack it into sterilized jars (3 jars, 340 g each). 
Leave it for 4 weeks in cold and dark place (I put in the fridge).
Serve with bread or your favorite blue cheese.

Enjoy!
