Ingredients
Pineapple and Pear Chutney
- 1 piece pineapple peeled and chopped (about 600 grams peeled and chopped weight)
- 4 pieces fragrant pears (about 500 grams in total), peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 Table Spoon ginger grated
- 1 piece white onion finely chopped
- 1 piece cinnamon stick

- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes depending on how spicy you want it
- 600 ml cider vinegar

- Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and jammy. This can take anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour. Taste and adjust seasoning. You are looking for that perfect balance between sweet and savory.
