For everyone who has an abundance of quince in their yard, try this excellent recipe for quince liqueur. I make it every year and give it as gifts for Christmas. It usually makes about 6 small bottles.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ripe quinces
- 2 organics lemons
- 1.5 quartss vodka
- 1 pound white sugar
Instructions
-
1
Rub quince with a kitchen towel really well until skin is smooth. Cut unpeeled quince into small cubes.
-
2
Peel lemon zest into spirals with a thin peeler. Squeeze lemons and measure 3/4 cup lemon juice.
-
3
Combine quince, lemon zest, lemon juice, vodka, and sugar in a large jar with a tight-fitting lid. All ingredients need to be completely covered with liquid. Keep in a warm place or on a sunny window sill for 4 weeks, shaking occasionally.

Line a sieve with a damp cheesecloth and strain liquid. Use a wooden spoon to press as much liquid out of quince pieces as possible. Pour strained quince liqueur into sterilized bottles and seal. For best results, allow to mature for 6 weeks in a cool place.

Best Ever Ceviche
This sea bass ceviche is a juicy freshness overload and truly the best ceviche I've ever had. The flavors are bright, slightly salty, with a kick of heat and a bit of sweetness. Cold and crunchy with tender fish and creamy avocado, the textures are very well balanced. The mango adds a delightful sweet burst.
Sher-a-Punjab Onion Chutney
I begged for this recipe at my favorite Indian restaurant. It is quite unlike any other onion chutney recipe that I've tried. It is surprisingly simple and full of taste. The ketchup and vinegar produce an orange hue and preserve the crunch of the onion. Serve as a garnish with toast. Try it!
