Quince Paste with Espelette
François Doucet is renowned for their Pâtes de Fruits and this quince paste is made using a similar traditional technique: fresh local quince pulp is stirred in copper cauldrons in small batches and poured into classic wood molds.
This quince paste with a twist is the brainchild of our friend Kitty Keller. Kitty proposed the ingenious, though non-traditional addition of AOP Piment d'Espelette Powder and fortunately the team at F. Doucet are forward thinkers. The result is a French-style membrillo with a gentle, warming heat.
The New York Times-Approved!
In her Front Burner column, food writer Florence Fabricant tells this quince paste's origin story and shares some original serving ideas: "Serve it with cheese or gently melt it to make a glaze for pork. Use a slice of it instead of jelly in your PB&J, and that sandwich will never be the same."
