Baked Quince cream
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:52 pm
I tried this last week and it is fabulous. Anyone who has any quinces left please try it. It's from a Jane Grigson cookbook but the amounts are quite fluid.
1ib quinces
Sugar
3 egg yolks
1/2 pint cream
2oz melted butter
Chop and cook the quince in a small amount of water. Cook until soft.
Push through a sieve to remove skin and seeds etc.
Add sugar to taste. Make it on the sweet side as the other ingredients will dilute it a bit.
Add three egg yolks and mix well.
Add the cream and mix well.
Add the melted butter and mix well.
I grated a little nutmeg on top.
Pour into a baking dish and bake at gas mark 5 until set.
Serve warm or cold. It's delicious either way but I think I prefer warm.
Now I'm just going to puree my last few quinces and freeze it so that I can try this again later in the year. It's so good!
