Membrillo


Membrillo was made a week or three ago but is only being blogged now because it is a low news day in Mr T's former household.  For a fruit that starts off a sort of creamy colour it produces a great redness when boiled down.  I sampled it with some extra mature cheddar yesterday and pronounced it to be of adequate standard.

Mr B doesn't really eat the stuff so I might have made a little too much perhaps.

      It is a lot of cheese platters and rather a lot of sugar if I was to eat it all myself. Do you eat it?

      To the best of my recollection I have never tried quince paste... but definitely willing to try! Yxx

      That can be arranged. You may however have to wait until closer to the end of December when I am reunited with the said membrillo and my own kitchen.

    Um, what fruit? Is this a sauce? Jam? Inquiring minds at it again.

      This is a fruit 'cheese' made of quinces (and sugar) cooked until it sets about the consistency of cheese and eaten with cheese (in Spain, and in our house).

      It is a bit like cranberries - something you wouldn't/couldn't eat raw but the foundation of remarkable conserves and condiments.

    I remember buying pate with the red jam on top. I’m pretty sure it was this stuff. Quince jelly
    I did rather like the taste. It would make lovely Christmas gifts in pretty jars. If it lasts that long

      It lasts for years if the previous batch (half of which went to Greece with me) is anything to go by.

    Sounds like an interesting addition to the cheese board. Hopefully it keeps refrigerated- does it freeze?

      It doesn't need freezing - it is preserved like jam.

    I've never tried them but I've heard you have to really boil them and boil them until they soften.
