Quince Paste

Making Quince Jelly is a beautifully thrifty way to spend an afternoon, for it means you'll end up with two different treats. The jelly not requiring the use of the fruit flesh once it's been slowly simmered and strain, one has to find a use for it. They could be eaten as they are, perhaps drizzled with a little honey. But they could be turned into a Quince Paste that lasts for a while and spruces up cheese boards! Happy Tuesday!

Ingredients:

leftover boiled Quinces, thoroughly strained (about 650 grams/23 ounces)

1 1/4 cup caster sugar

Remove lemon peels and pips from the boiled Quinces, and spoon into a food processor. Blitz until smooth, and spoon that Quince paste into a heavy-bottomed pot.

Stir in the sugar, and heat, over a medium flame, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Then, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring very often, until mixture darkens and thickens, 35 to 45 minutes, being careful that it doesn't burn.

Once it has a dark golden colour and the paste leaves gaps at the bottom of the pot as you stir, remove from the heat and spoon into a rectangle container or a loaf pan lined with baking paper.

Allow to cool and set, then chill in the refrigerator overnight until very firm.

You can either keep your Quince Paste in a sealed container, or wrap it into baking paper and cling film, in the refrigerator up to six weeks.

Serve Quince Paste, in slices, with cheese. It pairs particularly well with ewe's milk cheeses such as French Tomette de Brebis, Basque Ossau Iraty or Spanish Manchego.
