Hi, Les. I have just made some chutney using this recipe. It is Hugh Fearnley-Whatnot (sorry, Whittingstall)'s recipe for Glutney, the third one down the page. You can use whatever you have on hand, in whatever proportions. I leave out the chilli as I don't like hot chutney, and use pears instead of some/all of the apples. It is much better with pears.
Pear butter is another possibility, but that needs a lot of cooking and stirring unless you do it in a microwave. Here is a recipe that gives a variety of ways to cook it. The one I use for apple butter includes spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, I think) and uses larger quantities. I assume that the odd reference to pumpkin in the recipe means it was adapted from a pumpkin recipe and can be ignored.
And here is Kate's recipe for pear mincemeat. For once I copied a recipe with proper reference so I could find it again!
Pickled pears, very good... but I don't know where my recipe is. I will need to find it soon, before the final pears need using.

I pickled some pears for the first time this year. I used this recipe:

I can't tell you if it's any good yet though as I only did it a couple of weeks ago and I'm leaving them to mature a bit before opening...
