Dec 16th Pear and date chutney

A damp and overcast day so full on with Xmas cooking again. To go with the glazed smoked ham joint I like to prepare a home made chutney. This years version included pear, dates, beer, raisins and cranberries. Full recipe will appear on my simple cooking blog. It will develop but yesterday with mature cheddar delicious.
