Ingredients

1 cup water

1 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 teaspoon cloves

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

3/4 cup golden raisins

1 cup packed light brown sugar

6 cups peeled, cored and chopped Bartlett pears (about 4 to 5 pears)

1/2 cup finely chopped shallot (about 2 shallots)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Step by step

  1. Heat oil in a KitchenAid® Sculptured Stainless Steel Stockpot or large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallot. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until shallot is golden brown.

  2. Add remaining ingredients to pot. Stir, then cover. Simmer over medium-low heat 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until pears are very soft. Uncover and increase heat to medium. Cook uncovered 10 minutes, stirring often, until most of water evaporates and mixture is cooked down.

  3. Use a KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Cordless Hand Blender or regular blender to blend mixture until mostly smooth.

  4. Transfer to sealable jars. Store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
