Quince

I occasionally get an organic seasonal fruit and veg box and this week it contained quinces, a fruit I see so rarely but do love when served as a paste with cheese. Quinces take hours to soften and I used an old recipe from Stephanie Alexander using honey, butter, and a tiny bit of water and four hours later in the oven on a low heat my quinces had changed colour completely and filled the kitchen with the most wonderful aroma. I served them with greek yoghurt and they were delicious!

The weekend ahead

We are having a quiet weekend this weekend, no plans apart from going for a run, reading, doing a bit of cooking and gardening, what about you?

On a theme of food

I think I will post a food theme for the next few days. If I take the lemons below I can squeeze the juice into my pestle and mortar.
