I have been looking for quince recipes, but had only found a few so far. Unfortunately the links you gave didn't work. I'll do a search though. The book sounds interesting.


I did find one recipe off that page of links that was quite interesting called Chastletes - Pastry Castle -

It's a square walled "castle" with a tower at each corner - the "courtyard" holds a meat dish, while the four towers hold - respectively - a sauce for the meat, a cold fruit soup, fresh fruit, and a custard pudding.

I can't link to the direct page, but if anyone is interested....

Use the left hand menu and scroll down to Sweet or Decorated Foods and click. Scroll down on the list of articles to Chastlete-art "Chastlete, a Pastry Castle", about the 12th one down. It is an interesting read if for no other reason.

Hello ethnic hash,

This is Bigjim, I promissed this old dentist that I would make him some quince jam and fig jam, for doing such a good job on my teeth. I think he was from greece and this man
I think must of been in his eighties, but a fantastic dentist. And I really would like
to make him happy. I make alot of jams and jellies during the year but I have`nt made
either one of those. and when you started talking about quince, I thought I would ask.
talk to you later.
