TURKISH RECIPES

QUINCE SHERBERT

2 cloves

Ingredients

2 quinces
half kg sugar

* SHORT NOTES *

The three most diverse and sophisticated cuisines in the world are said to be the Turkish, Chinese and French. All three are characterised by a fusion of their own strong culinary traditions with influences and borrowings from other cultures with which they have come in contact over the centuries. At the same time, like all cuisines they are shaped equally by the tastes of society and by the available variety of foodstuffs

Preparation

Peel the quinces, cut out the cores and dice. Keep some of the pips and peel. Bring 5 cups of water to the boil, add the sugar and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the cloves, quince peel, pips and diced flesh and simmer for 25 minutes. Set aside to cool, without removing the saucepan lid. Strain and chill the sherbert before serving. Hmm delicious!!!
