Hi folks,

Does anyone have experience of making quince paste using a slow cooker?
thanks any feedback.

no, but sounds like a great idea. I think you would still need to stir
it occasionally. Next time I am able to get some quince I will try it
myself. Let us know how it worked if you decide to do it.

No, not exactly, but I made quince jelly (boil down method) and 2 quince
butters with different flavorings, one of which I liked and the other I
didn't quite.
There is a lot of pectin around quince seeds and this stuff will set up or
get thick in a hurry. Be thinking about that.

Oh gosh, isn't that the truth. My grandmother used to make quince
jelly, marmalade, etc. We used to get bushels of quince and she never
wasted any of it. She instructed me that you could mix it with about
anything and get a nice gel. Aren't they in the apple family? I'll
note that onions also have a lot of pectin.
