- 2 firm-ripe red Bartlett pears
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Halve and core pears and apples. Cut 2 pear halves and 2 apple halves into 1/4-inch-thick slices and chop remaining pears and apples.
- In a saucepan combine sliced and chopped pears and apples with remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer, stirring gently. Simmer chutney, covered, stirring occasionally, until fruit is just tender, 10 to 15 minutes, and cool. Chutney may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Serve chutney chilled or at room temperature.
