This is from a friend!

Last year, someone brought me some pears that were quite hard. I looked for
a recipe to use them and found this one which is delicious. I made a lot of
small jars which I used all through the winter (actually I am just finishing
the last one) and it is wonderful to give to friends too (especially around
Christmas when you long for anything tomato). It is red, yellow and green.
Note: I found it a teeny bit too sweet for my taste and plan on using a
little less sugar this time. - Françoise
2 1/2 cups tomatoes
2 1/2 cups pears
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup green pepper
1/2 cup onion
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper up that to at least 1/2 tsp or more
1/4 cup pimiento---use chopped chiles such as serranos-adjust to your heat
preference!
Cut tomatoes, pears and peppers into same size small cubes.
Mix all ingredients except pimiento. Bring to a boil. Boil gently stirring
from time to time until 1/2 in volume (about 45 min).
Add pimiento.
Boil another 3 min.
Note: I poured in small canning jars while hot and sealed. They kept very
well for almost a year.
