Title: Quince, Tomato and Coconut Custard
Post by: cecilia on September 06, 2011, 02:10:17 pm

Hi everyone.  I absolutely love the Thermomix custard and am always on the lookout for new flavour twists.

I just thought I'd share with you one I tried tonight:

One jar Quince and Tomato Jam (made in pre-Thermomix days and sitting in the cupboard - contained plenty of sugar)
One 400g can coconut milk
Approx 100g cream
4 eggs
40g cornflour

Cook on 90 degrees for nine minutes - speed 4.

Delicious!

This was just a random concoction, but all the same I wanted to share, as I was quite proud that it worked out.

Someone else could probably make something similar from first principles, rather than using the jam.  Please share your variations here.

fundj - I will take that question on notice, as I can't put my hand on the recipe book for that jam right now, but basically it is just as the name implies - jam made of quinces and tomatoes - comes out more sweet than savoury.
Lellyj - Thank you for the nice comment.  So many things I try do not work out, but this time I felt like throwing my experience into the conversation.  Thermomix custard is such a weakness for me.  I need to dream up excuses for having it again.  *blush*

Love the sound of this, Cecilia!  It's definitely on the "to try" list!!  If you've found the recipe for the Quince and Tomato Jam - would appreciate it . . even if it's not a TMX one . . ;)

An Easter present for fundj and goldfish - 1 kg quinces, 1.5 kg tomatoes, 2.5 kg sugar - Skin tomatoes by placing them in boiling water.  Peel core and mince quinces.  Combine the fruit, cook till tender, add sugar and boil, stirring, till it jells.  That's it!  Source - The Home Orchard Cookery Book by Gillian Painter, Auckland NZ 1976.
