We eat it on toast, with roast pork, brushed on pork chops or with goose at Christmas, and with sausages. It is also lovely spread on water biscuits with a blob of creme fraiche on top, or with scones and cream. My sister-in-law loves it with smoked mackerel.
Ampersand I hope the damage wasn't too awful. I managed to stain a t-shirt with quince juice when I was pouring it into the jelly bag. A jelly bag is worth investing in0 -
Thankyou thriftlady - another 5 quinces coming today. Have just seen ironing board cover emerge, after soaking+90deg wash, brown/red where juice spilled. Shall make a bag with old net and muslin.
Jelly is the most beautiful colour.
LyndseyGlasman - use it with iced desserts, too - oh, and a VERY warm welcome to the thread, forum, site!CAP[UK]for FREE EXPERT DEBT &BUDGET HELP:

Hello thriftlady and others -
How is the quince vodka served? Neat? Avec? Over Ice? It's never been a taste of mine, so I've no idea.
Many thanks, as always.CAP[UK]for FREE EXPERT DEBT &BUDGET HELP:

I think I shall use some of mine in my mincemeat this year which I'm going to be making with quince instead of apple (if they haven't all rotted by the time I get round to making it).
I also make syllabub to serve with Christmas pud and I think I'll put some in that in place of the brandy.

I have shared the ambivalence of others here concerning her, though I liked John Diamond's column in the Times.
Quince vodka now out in No. 2 shed, all in one crock - along with a couple of thumbnail gratings. Just as well as it's to be filtered around New Year..........CAP[UK]for FREE EXPERT DEBT &BUDGET HELP:

Hello everyone, hope you're all nice and snuggly
I've been given 5 quince today, but not really sure what to do with them? I know you can make jelly but I haven't got a strainer bag to sieve it overnight.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Old style MoneySaving boards.
