Sauces, Juices and Drinks Recipes - Pear and Tomato Chutney Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 can pears (400 g/14 oz)

• 300 g/10 oz beef tomatoes

• 3 small red onions

• 250 ml/8 fl oz (1 cup) apple vinegar

• 1 cinnamon stick

Serves 4

Method:

1. Drain the pears and dice them. Cut the tomatoes into quarters, remove the seeds and cut into thin strips. Sprinkle a little salt on the tomato strips. Peel the onions and cut into rings.

2. Put the diced pears, tomato strips and onion rings in a saucepan, add vinegar and bring to the boil. Season with powdered mustard, pepper, sugar, salt and cinnamon sticks.

3. Cook the mixture until thick, stirring repeatedly.

4. Remove the cinnamon sticks after cooking and pour the chutney into preserving jars. Store in a refrigerator. Use within 1 week of opening.

Note: Pears and tomatoes make an excellent sweet-and-sour chutney sauce. It is a particularly good relish with savory puff pastry rolls such as spring rolls, or with deep-fried vegetables.
