Most people describe the quince fruit as somewhat of a cross between an apple and pear. What is different about this yellow fruit is that it cannot be eaten raw. The best way to eat quince is by cooking it and making it into a paste, also called membrillo in Spanish.
Rex Quince Paste is a thick jelly made from quince fruit. When cooked, this yellow fruit takes on a pinkish color. Sweetened with sugar, membrillo has a floral, tart, and sweet taste.
Cheese & Bread
The most common way to eat quince paste is with cheese and crusty bread. Because this is a popular fruit spread in Spain, it is often served with nutty Manchego cheese.
Cookies & Pastries
Of course, Rex Quince Jam is a fruit jam after all, making it perfect for baked goods! Make fruit cookies, tarts, and puff pastries with quince fruit filling the next time you welcome guests to your home.
