Part 4/8:
To prepare the chutney, start by sautéing chopped onions along with grated ginger, then layering in textures with diced apples and the star of the show: Williams pears. Add spices like nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and saffron for depth. White wine vinegar and a touch of sugar will create a delightful sweet-and-sour profile.
After simmering all the ingredients together, you can pack the chutney into sterilized jars, where it will happily mature and deepen in flavor. This chutney is not only perfect with ham but also pairs beautifully with fish and salads, proving its versatility throughout the Christmas season.
