Quince paste help needed please

[Very Happy Jan]

Wow Maddy. They look fabulous. Well done

[Thermomixer]

Sorry I wasn't around in your hour of need - but looks like you didn't really need me.  They look absolutely superb!!

Well done - great work with the moulds too - perfect.

Now we need to find your quince tree.

Do you feel such a duffer not having used those quinces before

[I Love Bimby!]

My Fav is Quince Paste with the King Island Smoked Chedder and a good bottle of red (BB Shiraz Mondeuse & Cabernet will do for me  ) the place me in front of an open fire with good company and I'm in heaven 

Can I come? 

Sure can. Haven't met a bad egg on the forum yet, so everyone's welcome

Do you feel such a duffer not having used those quinces before

.........Um........yes! 

Guess what I will be cooking up all this week ?

[achookwoman]

Maddy,  save you fridge space and just keep it in the pantry.

[Thermomixer]

True Chookie.  I have vacuum packed mine, but just in the pantry will be fine covered with paper and maybe some foil.

TMXer - thank you so much for this recipe.  I thoroughly enjoyed making and eating your quince paste.

Looks fab V! 

It tastes good, doesn't it.
Just think, I have a huge  esky full of quinces....and equate how much you would have to pay, for the equivalent finished product.
All for the cost of some sugar 
Love it!

[Thermomixer]

Pleasure VYY - it looks great.  I used to have a plate like that!  Hope it is in the back of the cupboard.

Bummer! Had brought a big bag of quinces from the market on the weekend and had decided to make some quince jelly and some quince paste. So I'm cooking the quince jelly tonight, and just looked up Thermomixers recipe for the quince paste to discover I only have less than half the amount of quinces required 

But that's fine. I'll try an alternate quince jelly recipe tomorrow night and compare the 2 as I'm quiet unimpressed by the lack of jelly I've made out of the 4 quinces this evening.

ILB,  you can make a percentage of the recipe.  Just weigh the quinces and judge what proportion of the original recipe you have. I hope this makes sense.  I think you get better value from making the paste.  Don't forget to put the machine in the empty sink.

[I Love Bimby!]

Thanks Chookie. I had thought of that, but wasn't sure what would have been better value for money...  Thanks for your advice on that one 

[Thermomixer]

It would have been fine with half the amount and good value - check out how much a little 100g block costs.

It is a bit like King Island yoghurt with cinnamon!!

Thank you Thermomixer for this recipe .  Made this last night.  I have never been brave enough to attempt quince paste before and it has turned out perfectly.  The smell as it was cooking was worth it alone  .  Next year I'll save more of my quinces before the birds get to them 

[Thermomixer]

Pleasure earth mumma.  It is so much fun and I love quinces.
