  This chutney is so easy to make. I made it with pears from our garden last year. I must say it is one of the best chutnies I have ever had (homemade or shop bought!)

  You don't need to freeze it if you jar it like jam. Basically make sure your jam jars are clean and hot by putting them in a hot oven for about 5 minutes then add your chutney mixture so it reaches the neck of your jar, add a wax circle to the help keep out the air and put the lid on whilst it is hot - when the jars cool this heat seals the chutney and should last in your store cupboard for months if not years!

  Really easy to make but open your windows, the vinegar boiling off made my eyes stream!! Had a quick taste before putting into jars and it's really nice. Made 3 x 454g jars (standard jam jar size).

  Have a glut of pears this year. This looks like just the recipe to make sure that they don't go to waste.

  I was given over 2 and half kilo of pears from a friends tree so made this - it is a fab chunky chutney and my husband liked it so much he was trying to eat it whilst I was filling the jars!!! The ginger adds the perfect spice and heat

  Very sweet:) I left it to boil a little longer than suggested for both stages. This made it not so runny. If I make it again I'll add more ginger.

  Mine looks nothing like the picture! It's MUCH darker, perhaps because I threw in a handful of dates left over from the Christmas cake I made yesterday! It smells delicious but has needed significantly longer to simmer - maybe due to my pears (which were windfalls) being quite soft and very, very juicy.
