With the holidays fast approaching delicious foods are on there way. Every year I look forward to eating and cooking quince cookies and pie, so this year I decided to make my own quince.
My dad brought me back some quince from Santa Cruz, I asked my grandma for the recipe, and I was ready to go.Here is the recipe:
3 Quince
2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
5 peeled cardamom pods
1-Wash and rub the fuzz off the quince, core, cut into
wedges and place in a container of water w/splash of
vinegar.
2-Place the quince seeds in a cheese cloth and tie.
3-Transfer the quince to a pot, and remove vinegar water. Cover quince with 1 1/2 cups of clean water, add 1/2 cup of sugar and the wrapped quince
sees, and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
over low heat for about 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
4-Squeeze and then remove the wrapped seeds from the
pot and discard them. Puree the quince in a food
processor with juice and return to the pot. Add remaining sugar,
lime juice and cardamom. Cover and simmer over low
heat for 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally or until
the water has evaporated , turning into a thick paste.
5-Put paste into jar and refrigerate.The paste is delicious on toast or in pies!
Enjoy!!
