Question:

Can you tell us a bit about Quince?

Answer:

Don't don't eat a quince fresh because it actually It it will give you like a scratchy feel in the back of your throat. And it's it's quite awful. So but if you want to play a joke on somebody go for it because they almost look like up holes and on on the property that I live on I found a tree and and it was it's not in good shape. You know, I'm working on on making it better but it had a bunch of queens and that's what I didn't inspired me to to make a recipe that I used to make which is a quince jelly quite easy to make it will it will be shown in the recipe but in a few words you take the Quince and you you have to wash him first because there's a fuzz on them and then after that you cut them in chorus and then you saw him in water and you let them slowly simmer for To three hours depending on the amount that you're making. and then what I like to do, then I like to just turn off the heat cover the cover the pot and let it soak overnight because what what this will do it will Infuse the flavors more into the water and also it will extract the pectin the natural pectin in the skin of from the skin of the queens and then the next day you You take just the water the Quince water. And you add 80% of sugar you wait a water. So if you're 1,000 gram of water, you put 800 grams of sugar and then one lemon juice and then you boil this before 20 25 minutes. I would say and you'll until if you make a test on on a cold plate if it sets as a jelly then then you cooked it enough. If it doesn't set you just cook it a little bit longer need to just reduce the water. And then and then you just pour it in sterilize jars and then you have your Quince jelly. Then you can also use the Flesh of the Quince which is actually delicious. It's a very floral fruit. And use the flesh without the skin and then you cook it with 15% sugar kind of like an apple sauce. And then you you hit it with the immersion blender and you get a wonderful Quince bread. Okay. It's actually not sweet at all has a very very nice flavor.
