extra quince jelly
Delicate and fragrant, quince jelly allows you to savor this ancestral autumn fruit, halfway between an apple and a pear. Unripe and firm when raw, it becomes sweet and pleasant once cooked.
Quince is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory fruit, with diuretic and purifying properties that help eliminate toxins and relieve fatigue. It is also beneficial for the digestive and respiratory systems.
Despite its many virtues, quince is becoming increasingly rare and is considered a forgotten fruit. It is precisely to help it be rediscovered that we offer it in this delicious recipe.
DID YOU KNOW?
The quince tree is one of the oldest known fruit trees. It seems that as early as 2000 BC the Babylonians and the Greeks were already cultivating it, and that it later spread through Asia Minor and the Caucasus to the Mediterranean.
Among the Egyptians it was used in funeral ceremonies as a symbol of death and rebirth.
SERVING IDEAS
Perfect with goat cheeses and strong-flavored cheeses such as Roquefort, as well as with ham, lard and roast pork. Also excellent on a fruit tart or on panna cotta.
