So what did you decide to make? I wish I had a fig tree :-( I don't even have a client with a fig tree:-(

The girl got ceps

What did you do with your quince? I have some membrillo on cooking at the moment, wish it would hurry up so I can get to bed..... Will pop into Lidls tomorrow as I spotted some hard sheeps cheese last week - should go well together

Err nothing. I am not sure if they are even ripe. We had a bad experience once with a quince tart just before our wedding in France (sounds ominous I know :-) ) and I have never since warmed to them. We were basically force fed quince tart by a very nice (but very drunk) B and B owner....enough said

I won't ask anymore! The membrillo or quince cheese is fairly easy to make and compliments a nice cheese board or can be used in cooking. Mine were a mix or ripe and unripe - took quite a while to peel and lean though as the tree is organic so a few pests to cut out

Tomorrow I need to start getting the grapes in and the last of the veg.

Yes, we have walnuts, pears and still some plums to bring in. Oh, and some grapes that I will do my best to scoff :-)

Fell asleep and the membrillo was in the oven all night Thankfully it was a low temperature and came out just right

Is this how you make the membrillo? http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes..._quince_paste/

Well...my membrillo is taking its time turning 'ruby red' is is more of a 'rust gold' at the moment :-) It tastes nice though

Well done, you tried it! Yes, mine took much longer to turn red than the recipe said and even when finished boiling, it didn't look that red. However, once it came out the oven, it was exactly as it looked in the online pictures

Ah well, mine is my own special 'orange' recipe then

I'll try add a pic of what's left of mine later and we can compare. Out and about at the moment, will do when I get back.

I don't think mine is quite as it should be, but I just had a sneaky taste on some fake Hungarian cheddar, and it tasted lovely...so I am happy

Not had time to do a photo yet! Is it a solid block?

Erm...a squidgy solid block. I thought I would be clever and set some of it in shot glasses as I had run out of ramekins..will look nice on the plate if I can ever get it out :-)
