- 2 pears
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about ½ lemon)

Pear Grilled Cheese
- 4 slices Country loaf (or white or brioche)

- 4 slices raclette cheese
Instructions
Pear Chutney Recipe
- In a medium sized sauce pan, heat apple cider vinegar and sugar on medium low heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Core and stem pears by cutting them in half and removing the core with a sharp small knife. Finely dice the pears. Immediately add to the sauce pan.
- Add lemon juice, cinnamon, ground clove and salt to the sauce pan and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Allow the pear chutney to simmer until the pears are soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Pear Grilled Cheese
- Butter four slices of bread on one side. With the buttered side of the bread facing out, assemble two sandwiches by adding two slices of raclette cheese and a layer of pear chutney.
- Heat a skillet to medium low heat. Place the sandwiches until the bottom has turned a golden brown. Then, using a spatula, flip the sandwich and brown the other side. Cut pear grilled cheese on a diagonal and serve warm. (If the raclette cheese has not melted, place the sandwiches in the oven at 350° until the cheese becomes soft and melty.)
