Description
Quince jam, cooked slowly in the traditional way.
Quinces are cut into pieces and wetted with lemon juice to keep their colour, then cooked slowly over a low flame with cane sugar until soft and set. The pulp is blended, jarred and pasteurised. The ingredients are quinces, cane sugar and lemons. The jam keeps the intense perfume of cooked quince, with a light acidity that balances the sweetness of the fruit.
For restaurants and chefs. Quince is the classic fruit partner for cheese in Italian and Spanish cooking. Serve this jam with aged and blue cheeses, use it to glaze white meats and roasts, or fill crostate, biscuits and small pastries for the dessert menu. The natural pectin of quince gives a firm set that holds well in tart fillings and on a plated cheese course. The small jar suits individual cheese plates and breakfast service.
For specialty and Italian stores. Quince jam has a loyal following among customers who buy cheese, and the 140 g jar keeps the price per unit accessible. It is a good add-on at the cheese counter and a useful size for gift boxes and tasting sets. The short ingredient list, three items, is an easy argument for staff, and a 36-month shelf life from production covers the slower months without waste.
