Peel and dice the pears.
Peel and dice the onion, ginger, and garlic.
Set a medium to large saucepan over a stove top set to low-medium heat and add the oil into it.
Add the diced onion, ginger, and garlic, and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
Then add the pears, honey, red wine vinegar, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, and chili powder to the saucepan and give all the ingredients a good stir. Put the lid onto the pan and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes until some of the liquid has lessened.
Then remove from heat, and using the back of the spoon, mash up the pears. Or, add the chutney to a food processor and blend until it is the consistency you like it to be.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and enjoy with crackers and cheese or your favorite roasted meat.
