I was over at Green Mount on Tuesday, for the final clearance before we complete on the sale. The quince tree was absolutely laden (after a rather poor last couple of years). That called for picking enough to make a small batch of dulce de membrillo, and some quince jelly. Wednesday I was too shattered to do anything, so yesterday saw the peeling, coring and boiling up, with things left overnight to gently drip. The paste is for membrillo, the liquid for jelly. This morning has been a rather hot and steamy session of boiling things up … but the results look OK.
