Fee’s Quince Paste
Tip
This is an amended version of 'Fee's Quince Paste', found on page 42 of Devil of a Cookbook.
TIPS:
- Quinces are in season during autumn. The whole quince can be used in this recipe, including the skin.
- To check if the paste is cooked, place a drop of mixture into cold water and allow to cool. Once cooled, remove drop and check texture. Paste should be slightly firm and a delicate pink in colour when finished.
- Extra cooking time may be needed if using older or very ripe quinces as they don’t contain as much pectin as slightly under-ripe fruit.

I put the temperature on varoma as suggested. It worked and tastes good
I think this recipe requires Varoma temperature, not 100 deg as per the recipe.
I cooked and cooked and it would not set. Then looked at a few of the other quince paste recipes and they are mostly at Varoma temp. Bumped the temp up for another little while. Immediately got the "spitting" characteristic of quince paste, and it set right away.
Tastes fabulous. Very easy process. Once you get the temperature right.
Also, think it would be good to chop the quince and lemons a bit, then add water to cook for the first step.
Only question left for me: with Varoma, use speed 1 or higher speed (3-4)?
Hmmm...I cooked this today, the first time exactly to the recipe except cooked it for 2 hours as was nowhere near done at the 45-60 min mark. It still didn't set, so I'm actually drying it out abit in the oven at the moment. It was just too pastey and there was no way you could cut it to eat with cheeses. The second round I actually used 750g quinces, 3 lemons and 350g sugar and cooked it for 3 hours! Much better and I'm hoping this sets properly like quince paste should. It also has a deeper colour.
BTW I used the whole lemon and left the TM clear measuring cup out of the lid so that the steam could escape, so maybe that was your problem ChristinaRose?? I left skin on, but took core out. Also didn't push it through the sieve...no need as thermie had puréed it perfectly
not an ideal recipe that's for sure and the first TM recipe that hasn't worked exactly as the recipe says...oh well.
Hi ChristinaRose
Did you keep the skin on and keep the core in?

I made this on the weekend and it was a total disaster, pink and runny. Even after 90 mins cooking time!,

Can this be tweaked to make a pear or fig and walnut paste? If so do u know a recipe?
