How to make it

  • Put quince fruit and sugar onto a very large pan over medium-low heat. Stir to coat the quince with the sugar.
  • Do not walk away from the stove as soon as it starts boiling, this should take under then 10 minutes to happen! At this point stir occasionaly.
  • The quince fruit will get pink and beautiful and at this point it is ready.
  • Take the pan off the heat and puree the quince with an electric blender.
  • Pour the puree in bowls.
  • After it is completely cooled cover each bowl with parchment papper and store the bowls in a dry place. See Photo

    Thank you for this very Portuguese (& Brazilian!) recipe! The Brazilians also call it Romeo and Juliet, as well as Joãosinho e Maria ~ all referring to quince (or guava) Marmelada's natural affinity to cheese's sharpness or creaminess. A breakfast staple! To complete a typical Portuguese or Brazilian breakfast, add crusty bread with butter & coffee with milk (café com leite).

    I'll make this as soon as the quince are ready. Obrigada Ana!
