chutney

[tilda20]

I will be canning pear chutney tomorrow and the recipe calls for brown sugar. Do I use light or dark brown sugar?

[K. Slink]

Whichever you prefer. The dark will have a more pronounced flavor, possibly overwhelming the pears, though. You'll probably be fine with either one...

All the recipes i checked went from brown Demerara (light)or dark to white to none using honey instead.
