I am in my late 40's and single and a bit selfish. Having no children and no spouse has allowed me to pretty much explore life in a much different way than most families would. More about Scott

Apples and quince
Posted at 3:30 PM on October 20, 2008 by Paulette Thompson (4 Comments)
I love slow baked quince. I love it stewed in the slow cooker. Quince is nice with yoghurt.
In Morocco I would make a spice cake with pureed quince. It is nice and flavorful. Ah, it makes a wonderful breakfast with yoghurt.
Applesauce is another autumn favorite. I generally like to cook apples of different varieties and then put them through a food mill. It comes out nice and pink as I don't peel them. I then make plans to put a batch in the freezer.
I end up eating mine and it never gets to the freezer.
What do you all do?
I know that some people prefer canning applesauce.
Which is better? Please give me some tips.

Paullette,
Unfortunately I don't know anything about quince. I'm commenting on a post you made a couple back since I'm blocked from commenting on it for some reason. Anyway, about your post about visiting Michael W and the lemons- I just thought I'd mention that I did my master's with Michael. Small world that we have a friend in common!!
It sounds like you've got a great variety of fruit treats right now enjoy them! I'll think of you as I drink my apple cider today.

Hmmmmmmmmm, apple cider.
What a small world indeed!
I will tell Michael that I too am connected with you.
I am hoping that he and I can make harissa togther (North African hot sauce--Although we make it in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, there are national and regional differences!) before fall is over.
Paulette
P.S. If I can figure out how to post photos on this thing, I'll put their baby boy in his costume on the blog!

Oh! Please do post photos. I haven't seen any of Forest since the photos of him coming home. Forest is about a month older than my boy, so I bet he's changed a lot!
Enjoy the harissa. I hope you get to make it, and I hope you blog about it.
All the best,
April

Just a note on the apples -- I've been canning some so I can bake with them later in the winter. I have a small box of apples stored up and am thinking of making some apple butter.
If you come up with any other ideas, please share! Apples are everywhere now! :D Living in the northwest is so wonderful ...
