Combine diced pears, grated ginger, chopped onion, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until everything is well mixed.
Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears soften and the mixture thickens into a glossy, chutney-like consistency.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Ripe but firm pears work best for texture.

Flavors deepen after a day in the refrigerator.

Add chili flakes for heat or extra ginger for more warmth.

Serve cold, room temperature, or gently warmed.
