Pear Fig Chutney

A bright, gently spiced chutney made with pears from our own garden and delicious organic Spanish Cuello de Dama figs sourced through the CrowdFarming platform - a wonderful way to support small, often multi-generation Mediterranean farmers who grow organically and with great care.

We make this chutney with two varieties of pears from our hillside garden - Concorde and Williams’ Bon Chrétien - cooked slowly with our Bramley apples, Radar onions, and Messidrome garlic. Warm organic spices - Ceylon cinnamon, Guatemalan green cardamom, Indonesian nutmeg, and Mexican allspice - are added early in the pot, infusing the fruit as it softens and giving the chutney its gentle, fragrant depth. Organic Cuello de Dama figs bring sweetness and body, while the juice and zest of organic Valencia oranges from our adopted trees in Spain add a lively citrus lift.

Everything is balanced with our own heritage apple cider vinegar, organic Colombian raw cane sugar, Highbank Orchards’ organic apple syrup, and Wexford sea salt, creating a chutney that’s fruity, aromatic, and beautifully rounded. This chutney only gets better with age - the pears, figs, warm spices, and citrus settle into a beautifully rounded, mellow depth over time. Enjoy it now, or let it mature in the pantry for an even richer flavour.

It pairs beautifully with aged cheddar such as Hegarty’s or Coolattin, and with Ireland’s wonderful blue cheeses, including Young Buck, Boyne Valley Blue, and Crozier Blue. It’s also perfect with meat terrines, charcuterie boards, roast pork, festive ham, or spooned into winter sandwiches. And it’s stunning with baked Wicklow Farmhouse Brie or served alongside warm sausage rolls.
