Recipe: Pear Relish (using onion and bell pepper, similar to fruit chutney)

PEAR RELISH
"This tastes wonderful on meat or poultry. It is similar to fruit chutney and it will change the way your meal tastes."

1 whole pear
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper
2 cups cranberry or apple juice
2 sprigs mint, chopped

Half the pear and scoop out the seeds using a melon scooper or a teaspoon. Peel the skin off with a pairing knife, then chop into bite-size pieces.

Put the pear, onion, peppers, and cranberry or apple juice into a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Cook until the onions and peppers become limp and the pear becomes soft.
Remove from the heat, add the mint.

Drizzle over your favorite poultry dish.
