Our forum member berringamababe posted her comments how her TM and slow cooker go hand in hand in her kitchen.Then she posted this recipe.
"I love my slow cooker almost as much as my Thermomix!!!! So was keen to see some new post on this thread.
Just had a lamb roast and vegies in the slowcooker and I am currently stewing quinces in TM and going to serve with TM Custard.
I just came across this recipe and don't usually post something I haven't made but Quinces are abundant in The South West at the moment and sooooooo beautiful I can't wait to to try tomorrrow going to Donnybrook to by a box of them for $10 and will also make some quince paste."
Paula Wolfert's Slow-Baked Quince
(adapted from in The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen)
Serves 4
2 medium quince
⅔ c castor sugar
⅔ c water
1 clove
1½ T lemon juice
1 apple
Preheat oven to 250˚F (120˚C).
Peel and halve the quince. Using a melon baller and a paring knife, carefully core the quince halves. Reserve all the peel and trimmings. Combine the sugar, water, clove and lemon juice in a shallow baking dish, such as a casserole (preferably one with a lid). Stir with a whisk to dissolve the sugar. Add the reserved trimmings and the quince halves, cut side down. Peel the apple and blitz in TM until coarsely chunky. Place the apple over the quince halves. This will prevent the quince from drying out while baking.
Cover and bake for 5 to 7 hours until the fruit softens and turns pink or crimson.
Serve the quince halves with clotted cream and toasted almonds.
Leftover juices make a great spritzer mixed with water or, even better, a great version of a Bellini or Kir Royale mixed with Prosecco or Champagne! Cheers!
I thought I would try freezing to use in sorbet

Thanks for the recipe CC. Quinces are just starting to arrive in the fruit and veg shops here but just wish we could pick them up for $10 a box. Since all the cooking shows on TV have featured them the prices have gone right up. We have friends with a tree so am usually able to get a few from here. Just wish my Grandmother was still around as she had such a huge tree and I was too young to really appreciate them at the time.

Just bought another box of quinces this year again for $10. I have just cooked I kg in the slow cooker with a vanilla pod cinnamon stick and 3 cardamom pods. Sooooo yummy I have been grazing on them all night. My grandmother always made quince jelly so I am going to try my first ever batch tomorrow. Love love love quinces.

BGB, we harvested our first crop of quinces this year. I peeled and cored them, then cooked the quinces in the crock pot for hours. I kept the peel and cores added to apple peel and cores and will make jelly from this. Two for one, I just love it when there is no waste.

Great idea, I minced the peel and cores I TM for the worm farm but the worms can miss out

BGB, give it to the worms after you have made the jelly. I do.

I have some quinces and plan to use the slow cooker. I'm going to cook them with sugar, Marsala and 5 star spice.
