I'm a big fan of celery - it has a unique, slightly spicy flavor that adds character to many different dishes. I like it best raw, in salads - it's crunchy and refreshing. In my case, this recipe is special because I associate it with autumn, when celery and pears are at their most beautiful. The pear here adds a delicate sweetness that blends well with the other ingredients. I definitely recommend this recipe for any season!

In my family we have always attached great importance to homemade jam. A very special recipe that I prepare every year in autumn is the apple-pear jam. It's a simple recipe, but it thrives on the quality of the sweet and tart fruit. For this I prefer to use apples and pears from our own garden.

The pear chutney is a real highlight in my autumn kitchen. At the end of the pear season I tried the chutney and was absolutely enchanted by the sweet and sour taste, which goes perfectly with cheese and bread. Since then, I prepare it every year and can not do without!
