Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs. quince (peeled, cored and chopped)
1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 lemon
2 cups sugar

EASY MEMBRILLO (SWEET QUINCE PASTE)



Easy Membrillo (Sweet Quince Paste) image

Categories     Appetizer     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2.25 pounds quince
3 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in a medium pot over medium heat. Stirring occasionally, once the sugar has melted and the mixture begins to bubble, simmer uncovered for an hour or so, stirring occasionally, until the candy thermometer reads 220 degrees F. This doesn't always guaranteed it's ready, so at this point also do a plate test to make sure the mixture is done: Spoon a little of the liquid onto a cold plate and wait a couple of minutes. Push the liquid with your finger and if it wrinkles it is ready. If it doesn't, continue to simmer and re-test. The quince will increasingly change into a deep ruby red color.
  • Grease a 8x8 inch glass baking dish. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender or blend in a Vitamix or similar until smooth. Pour the hot mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top. Let it cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24-48 hours until firm. Invert the membrillo / quince paste onto a platter (you may need to gently pry it out with a knife). Note: Some recipes call for placing the membrillo in an oven at low temp (125 degrees F) for 8+ hours to firm it up. This membrillo is already firm and perfectly sliceable. If you prefer it even firmer, proceed with dehydrating it.Cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 months or longer. For longer storage membrillo can be frozen well-wrapped for up to a year.
  • Makes one 8x8 inch square of quince paste.Serve with your cheese & charcuterie board. Traditionally served with manchego but pairs beautifully with most aged, hard cheeses.

MEMBRILLO



Membrillo image

This seasonal membrillo recipe makes two clever treats in one. You'll have quince paste and a delicate quince jelly to preserve the flavours of the season

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Cheese Course, Snack, Starter

Time 2h50m

Yield Makes about 1kg jelly and 1.7kg paste

Number Of Ingredients 5

2kg quince , peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1 lemon , juiced and zest pared (use a vegetable peeler)
about 1½ kg preserving sugar
knob of butter
1 tbsp rosewater

Steps:

  • Put the quinces and lemon zest and juice in a large heavy-based pan. Add enough water to cover the fruit. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hr until the quinces are very tender. Strain through a jelly bag or muslin-lined colander. Do not press out the juice - just leave it for at least 4 hrs, or ideally overnight, until the juice has dripped through.
  • To make the jelly, put three saucers in the freezer. Measure the juice and return it to the pan (reserve the leftover fruit for the membrillo paste). For each 1 litre juice, add 750g sugar (or for each 100ml juice, add 75g sugar). Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then boil hard until set. This could take between 5 and 20 mins. To test for set, spoon a little onto a chilled saucer, leave for 1 min, then push your finger through the juice. If it wrinkles, the jelly is set. If not, return to the heat and boil again for a few mins, then test again.
  • Remove from the heat and skim off any surface scum with a slotted spoon. Stir in the butter to dissolve any leftover sediment, then stir in the rose water. Pot into sterilised jars, seal and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to one year.
  • To make the membrillo, line a 16 x 24cm shallow oblong tin or tray with baking parchment. Tip the reserved fruit into a food processor and whizz to make a smooth-ish paste. Weigh the paste and for each 1kg paste, add 750g sugar (or for each 100g paste, add 75g sugar).
  • Tip the paste and sugar into a large heavy-based pan and heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Increase the heat and cook, stirring regularly, for 30-45 mins until the paste is thick and golden, and leaves a gap when you run a wooden spoon across the base of the pan. Be careful as the mixture will spit at you and can burn. Spoon into the tin or tray and smooth the top. Leave to cool, then chill overnight until it is very firm.
  • Wrap the paste in fresh baking parchment, then over-wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 6 weeks.

QUINCE PASTE



Quince Paste image

Categories     Quince

Yield makes sixty 1-inch (3-cm ) sq uares

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium quinces (1 1/2 pounds/675 g)
1/2 lemon, preferably organic
4 cups (1 liter) water
3 cups (600 g) sugar

Steps:

  • Wash and rub the quinces to remove any fuzz and leaves and cut them into quarters.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the quince pieces, lemon half, and water and cook over medium heat, covered, until the quince is tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and discard the lemon half.
  • With a melon baller or spoon, scoop out the quince seeds and discard them. Pass the quince pieces and the cooking liquid through a food mill or press them through a coarse-mesh strainer. You should have 3 to 4 cups of purée.
  • Put the quince purée and the sugar in a large heavy-duty saucepan or wide skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, shiny, solid mass, 30 to 40 minutes. (Be careful as you stir because the hot mixture will sputter and pop.)
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or oil it very lightly. Spread the quince paste into a layer 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) thick on the prepared baking sheet and let cool slightly. Once cooled enough to touch, wet your hand and smooth the surface of paste, then let cool completely.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut the paste into 1-inch (3-cm) squares. If the paste is sticky, dip the knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
  • Serving
  • Serve the quince paste by itself, or with slices of a dry, sharp cheese, such as Manchego or Cheddar.
  • Storage
  • Stored in a container in a cool, dry place, quince paste will keep for at least 3 months. Do not store it in a very tightly sealed container or it will become soggy. Some folks layer a bay leaf between squares of the quince paste, which gives it a unique flavor.
  • Variation
  • You can make APPLE PASTE by using 3 large baking apples (about 2 pounds/1 kg). Cook the quartered apples in 1 cup (250 ml) water until soft, purée them, then cook the purée down to a paste with 2 cups (400 g) sugar and 1/4 vanilla bean, split lengthwise.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 3h20m

Yield 1 pan (8 x 8 x 1-inches)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs quinces, washed, peeled, cored, roughly chopped
1 vanilla pod, split
lemon zest, two strips 1/2-inch x 2-inches each (only the yellow peel, no white pith)
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cups granulated sugar (exact amount will be determined during cooking)

Steps:

  • Place quince pieces in a large saucepan (6-8 quarts) and cover with water. Add the vanilla pod and lemon peel and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and let cook until the quince pieces are fork tender (30-40 minutes).
  • Strain the water from the quince pieces. Discard the vanilla pod but keep the lemon peel with the quince. Purée the quince pieces in a food processor, blender, or by using a food mill. Measure the quince purée. Measure an equal amount of granulated sugar. (If you have 4 cups of purée, you'll need 4 cups of sugar.) Return the quince purée to the large pan. Heat to medium-low. Add the sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar has completely dissolved. Add the lemon juice.
  • Continue to cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the quince paste is very thick and has a deep orange pink color.
  • Preheat oven to a low 125°F (52°C). Line a 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper (do not use wax paper, it will melt!). Grease the parchment paper with a thin coating of butter. Pour the cooked quince paste into the parchment paper-lined baking pan. Smooth out the top of the paste so it is even. Place in the oven for about an hour to help it dry. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • To serve, cut into squares or wedges and present with Manchego cheese. To eat, take a small (1/8-inch thick) slice of the quince paste and place it on top of a (1/4-inch thick) slice of the cheese. Store by wrapping in foil or plastic wrap, and keeping in the refrigerator.
