Quince Paste
Quince Paste also known as 'Dulce de membrillo' in Spanish is a delicacy eaten with a slice of cheese but I eat it with crackers and fresh fruit.
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 2 kg quinces
- 1/2 cup (125ml) water
- sugar, as required, see method

- Peel and core the quinces. Roughly cut the fruit flesh and place into a heavy bottomed saucepan with the water. Bring to the boil and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- At the end of the cooking time you should have a thick pulp remaining. Puree in a blender or strain through a sieve so that it has a finer consistency.
- Weigh the puree and add 250g sugar for every 500g puree. Add both to the saucepan and simmer for 45 minutes uncovered.
- Pour the mixture into a square baking tin about 2.5cm deep and allow to cool.
- When it's completely cool cut into rectangles. Wrap in baking paper and store in a container.
