Ingredients 

  • 3 quinces
  • 3 tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp whole wheat flour or GF flour - mixed with 50 ml of water
  • 50 g brown sugar or another type of sweetener
  • ½ tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 tbsp raisins
  • 5 tbsp walnuts chopped
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp rum extract
  • 1-2 tsp turmeric powder the secret ingredient - it gives the pudding a lovely color
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Put 100 ml of water in a small bowl. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
  • Chop the quinces into bite-size pieces, removing the hard inner core.
  • Add the oil to a pan. Pour in the brown sugar sauce and add the chopped quinces.
  • Boil for 10 minutes over medium heat, adding more water if needed.
  • Add a pinch of salt, the dissolved flour, cinnamon, ground cloves, turmeric, and the vanilla and rum extracts.
  • Boil for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid burning the sauce.
  • Use an immersion blender to mash the quinces until smooth.
  • Stir in the raisins and chopped walnuts.
  • Serve either warm or cold.

Notes

The duo-color effect is achieved by mixing the quince pudding with quince jam. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days and serve warm or cold.
