Asian Pear & Chipotle Chutney
Created by Chef Laurie, this richly spiced chutney blends Subarashii Kudamono Dried Asian Pears with chipotle, ginger, and warming spices like fenugreek, mustard seed, and coriander. Simmered low and slow in vinegar and water, then puréed to a smooth or textured finish, it’s a deeply flavorful condiment with smoky heat and subtle sweetness.
