Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 2 min.

Wash 1 kg 700 g quince.

Stage 2 - 7 min.

Cut them into quarters, no need to remove the core, the centrifuge will do all the work.

Stage 3 - 1 hour

Put the quarters in the centrifuge, then let the juice rest for 1 hour.

At the end of this time, the juice decants into 3 levels: the pulp at the top, the clear juice in the middle and the deposit at the bottom.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Remove the pulp from the top with a tablespoon, and discard it.

Gently pour the clear juice into a container through a very fine strainer, stopping before pouring the deposit from the bottom.

You should keep only the clear juice, then discard the sediment.

Add the juice of Ing1 to the quince juice, and weigh the whole.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Weigh the same weight of powdered sugar as the weight of juice.

Take 3 tablespoons of the sugar in a cup and mix it with 10 g jam gelling agent and set aside.

Note: The ratio of quince juice to sugar to gelling agent is very important to the success of your jelly, if you don't have exactly the quantities listed, this little calculator will help you fine tune your gelling agent weight.

Stage 6 - 5 min.

Pour the quince juice into a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Add the sugar all at once.

Stage 8 - 7 min.

Mix well and bring to a boil.

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Add the sugar + gelling agent mixture.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Stir again (it may foam) and bring back to a boil.

Stage 11 - 5 min.

Keep boiling for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.

Stage 12 - 4 min.

Pour into jars, close the lids...

Stage 13 - 2 min.

...and turn over to sterilize the contents.

Stage 14

Put back in place, let cool, your jelly is ready.

Remarks

Juicing quinces is a very wasteful method, almost 80%, and it is a bit frustrating because quince is not a very juicy fruit, but you will get a very clear and fluid jelly by doing so.

Keeping: Several months in a cool place.

Source: Home made.

How to glaze a tart

Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it.

Home-made breadcrumb coating

The crispy crust on many fried (or baked) foods comes from a breadcrumb coating. You can buy this, of course, but it's easy and much better to make your own at home. For one thing, you will know excatly what's in it – just bread – which is not the case for the commercial product. This is also a great way to use up bits of dry bread that would otherwise go to waste.
