Quince, Tomato and Coconut Custard

[cecilia]

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.

Wow! Well done Cecilia, sounds very exotic!

Quince and Tomato Jam, please explain 

[cecilia]

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.
