Description
This authentic Quince Paste, also known as “Membrillo”, is a sweet and slightly tart, thick jelly made of the pulp of the quince fruit, and is a common confection in many countries. Made without any preservatives or artificial additives, and using only simple and organic ingredients, Smith River Organic Farm follows a traditional recipe that has been passed down over many years.
The organic fruit is harvested at peak ripeness, then slow-cooked with organic cane sugar and a touch of lemon juice and vanilla, giving it a natural sweet flavor that is packed with minerals, fiber, and potassium. 2 oz. jar. Store in the pantry, and use within six months.
Ingredients: fresh organic quince fruit, organic cane sugar, lemon juice, vanilla.
Membrillo is a versatile ingredient that pairs perfectly with a variety of foods.
- Meat Dishes: Add a touch of sweetness to roasted or cured meats and savory recipes.
- Cheese Pairing: Spread it on crackers with aged Manchego cheese, whose sharpness is a great match against the sweet and fruity paste, or any cured cheese for a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors.
- Sweet Treats: Use it to make many desserts or serve it as part of a traditional cheese and quince pairing.
