Roasted Pear Mango Chutney - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 firm green pears - peeled, cored and halved
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    2 cups diced green (under ripe) mango
    1 small red onion, chopped
    1 green chile pepper, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, chopped
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    1/2 cup dried sour cherries
    3/4 cup cider vinegar
    1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Preparation
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a baking sheet.
    Toss the pear halves in a bowl with the lemon juice, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Place cut side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush pears with oil. Roast until caramelized and tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
    Meanwhile, mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, mango, red onion, chili, garlic, ginger, dried cherries, cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered until liquid thickens to a syrup-like consistency and mangoes look translucent, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
    Coarsely chop pears and combine with the mango mixture. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours before serving.
