Pear Chutney

Combine all the ingredients except the pears in a thick-bottomed saucepan and bring to the boil over very low heat, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for about 1 hour, giving a stir every 10 minutes, until the mixture is jam-like and syrupy. Add the pears and cook very gently for another 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Leave to cool completely. Keep in the fridge until needed (it will keep for several weeks).
