01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet. In a bowl, toss the pear halves with lemon juice, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Arrange them cut side down on the baking sheet and brush the tops with a little oil. Roast the pears for about 40 to 50 minutes, until they’re nicely caramelized and soft. Once done, take them out and let them cool.

Step 2
While the pears are roasting, combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, mango, red onion, chili, garlic, ginger, dried cherries, cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes. You want it to thicken up like syrup and for the mango pieces to turn translucent. When it’s ready, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool down.

Step 3
Once the pears have cooled, roughly chop them and stir them into the mango mixture. Cover everything and pop it in the fridge for at least 24 hours to let the flavors blend before serving.
