Dulce de Membrillo - Quince Jam paste









This is my second time I posted a quince jam (dulce de membrillo) but really I love this recipe.
Is from a chilean friend Pamela who has a really nice blog with chilean recipes .
In this time we eat a lot of quince jam cause we are in autumn so if you live in North hempishere  you can save this recipe.
I dedicated this recipe to Betsy a lovely friend from Ohio and love quince jam:)
I have a quince tree and is nice but this year is a little sick you know, we never disinfect it, we dont like quimical but this year we are have to do.
The quince jam have some work but is really nice and you can use not only with toasts, we made tarts and others treats.

To Canadian friends

NOTE:
 Im including  a note from quinces in Canada because some of you tell me dont know or dont have idea where buy quinces.
This link is for your dearies:)

Ingredients

 2 kg. of quinces
 sugar (about 1  1/2 kg)

some loafs molds

Method

Wash and cut the quinces careful because the center is hard where have the seeds
(Save some centers to add the quince cook)
 If you want you can remove the skin but is not necessary I think.
In a large pot  cook the quinces with some centers with seeds (by the pectine) bring to boil about 15 to 20 minutes until tender but whole.
Put in a colander  cooked  quinces for strain  the juice or water, cover with a plate and put  weighing up to throw the water, leave for a while.
(the liquid may be reserved is  really nice)

Before to process removing the hard parts and seeds
 When the fruit is ready grind in a food processor.


Place the paste in a  large non stick pot  and using a teacup place a sugar cup for cup of quince paste.
So if you have 5 cups of quince paste add 5 cups of sugar.
Stir well.
Cook to slow to medium heat always stirring.
(You can add butter to the bottom of pot to dont stick)
Cook by to 40 minutes until the paste have a golden color .
When you stir and see the bottom of the pot is ready.

Pour into a mold, matching, allow to cool to room temperature and cover with foie (aluminum).
Take to the fridge for about two days and unmold.
You can use to mold a loaf pan.

EN ESPAÑOL
DULCE DE MEMBRILLO










Hace tiempo que quería hacer esta receta de dulce de membrillos (es la segunda que posteo) es de un blog super bueno en que me encantan las recetas porque son excelentes y cocina un poco como lo haciamos en el sur y además me cae super bien, el blog se llama Mi mesa del pellejo y es de mi amiga Pamela las que no la conocen vayan les encantará.
La Pamela es del sur de la VIII región o sea de mi misma zona donde nací. :)

Ya dije arriba pero  lo pongo en español esta receta se la dedico a Betsy una amiga que tengo en Ohio y que tiene un blog super entretenido y que le encanta el dulce de membrillo.
Quien dijo que yo no hago patria??  ja,ja
Es un amor la Betsy y vale la pena conocer su blog.


Ingredientes

2 kilos de membrillos
azúcar (1 kilo y 1/2)
algunas cajas o moldes cuadrados
(sirven las cajas de helados tambien)

Preparación

Lavar muy bien los membrillos y cortarlos en cubos.
Cortar con cuidado porque el centro donde van las semillas es muy duro.
Reservar algunos centros (por la pectina) despues se retiran.
Colocar los trozos con algunos centros  dentro de una olla y cubrir con agua, llevar a fuego medio  y cocinar 20 minutos desde el momento de la ebullición o hasta que estén blandos.


Escurrir, retirar las semillas, el corazón y colocarlos dentro de un colador para que boten el liquido ojalá ponerle un pesos encima porque deben quedar sin jugo.
Moler la pasta en un porcesador o mini piper.
 Colocar la misma cantidad de azúcar dentro de la olla junto con el membrillo escurrido y hecho puré.
O sea una taza de azúcar por una taza de membrillo cocido.
Llevar a fuego medio hasta que comience a hervir y bajar el fuego  lo más posible. (yo uso el tostador antiguo el mismo que uso para el arroz)

Revolver siempre con cuchara de madera. Cocinar durante unos 40 minutos
 Verter en un molde, emparejar, dejar enfriar a temperatura ambiente .
Llevar al refrigerador y dejar adentro unos dos dias antes de desmoldar

  36. Gloria, thank you for linking us to where we can get more info on Quince. Yes, your right, us Canadians, rarely get a chance with this fruit. We do however, get access to it once and a while...only in some specialized markets.

    Thanks for sharing such a wonderful jam ;o)

    Ciao for now,
