Step-by-step
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook the onion gently over a low heat for 5 minutes until soft.
- Add the pears and raisins and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add the mixed spice, vinegars, sugar, cranberries, orange zest and juice and port, stir well and cook for another 10 minutes or so.
- Season with a little salt and pepper. Taste and then add more sugar or vinegar to your own taste - it may need some more, or you may be bang on! This is best served warm.
If you are not using the chutney straight away, transfer it to a lidded plastic container and store in the fridge for up to 10 days. Heat through gently before serving.
