Thermomix Quince paste - made easy

Описание: Here I show you how to make a quince paste without any mess or fuss, using your Thermomix.

During this isolation period of Corona Virus Times, what else is there to do but cook. ;)

Here is my recipe for Quince paste -

Ingredients
• Approx 4 quinces, washed, peeled and cored
• 125mls of water
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Sugar
• Vanilla Essence (optional)

Method
Cut & peel quinces into chunks and place in TM Bowl. Add water and lemon juice.

Cook on 100° C, Speed 1 until quince is quite tender (approximately thirty minutes). Puree mixture, speed 8 for 15 seconds and remove mixture from TM Bowl.

Activate the scales and weigh the pulp back into the TM Bowl. Add ¾ of weight in sugar and cook for 1.5 hours, 100° C, Speed 1 to 2 (depending on thickness. The thicker, the higher the speed). Replace MC with steamer basket placed on top to eliminate splashes.

For a darker colour (deep pink/red) and a firmer consistency, continue to cook at 100° C, speed 3 for another 30 minutes.

Pour into a tray, greased or lined with Bakers paper and store in fridge. Can also be poured into muffin tins so can be stored or given away in a round neat shape. Or as seen in video, use small round containers with lids.

When set, cut into pieces and wrap in greaseproof paper and then foil. Keeps indefinitely. Or keep stored in containers you have poured into.

Enjoy. :)
