The ingredients needed to make Spiced quince paste/ membrillo:

1. Take 3 quince. 1kg weight
2. Make ready 750 grams sugar
3. Prepare Spices to flavour (optional- cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg)

Strain off any excess water and put the quinces through a mouli or sieve, getting rid of any core or pips. Weigh the purée and measure out an equal quantity of sugar. Place the quince pieces into a large pan and add enough water to cover. Add the vanilla pod and bring to the boil.

Steps to make Spiced quince paste/ membrillo:

1. Boil the quince in plenty water 30 to 45 minutes until soft (test them with wooden skewer)depending on the size of the fruits
2. Once soft allow to cool and peel skin off. Cut and core
3. Weigh the amount of flesh you obtain as you will add the same amount of sugar (I got around 800g). Blend with hand blender and or mouli (I found too time consuming using the mouli on the big chunks)
4. Place pureed quince in heavy bottom pan as it will take a while to cook. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved
5. Cook until very thick consistency and browned in colour. Ready when you can draw a line with the spoon in the mixture and the bottom of the pan remains visible the mixture is ready.
6. Pour into prepared plastic containers (I greased them slightly to help it not stick). Cover with baking paper and flatten while warm to make it as smooth as possible
7. I prepared 3 tins unflavoured and added the spices to the last of the mixture while cooking out for a minute
8. Leave to cool and I keep them with lids on in the fridge
