Instructions

  1. 1 In a saucepan, stir together the sugar, water and vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep golden brown, or use a candy thermometer. The temperature should reach 300 degrees F (149 degrees C). Remove from the heat, and pour onto two well buttered heavy dinner plates.
  2. 2 When the candy begins to harden, pull from around the edges of the plates. Stretch into long ropes and cut into pieces with kitchen scissors, giving each piece a twist. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin. Be careful! The candy will be very hot while pulling and cutting.

Instructions

  1. 1 Wash, peel, and core quinces, reserving cores and peels. Coarsely chop flesh and transfer fruit to a large pan. Wrap cores and peels in cheesecloth, tie the bag with kitchen string and add it to the pan. (The peels contain most of fruit's pectin, which contributes to the firmness of quince paste.)
  2. 2 Pour in enough water to cover quinces and boil, with the pan partly covered, until fruit is soft, about 30 to 40 minutes. Remove the bag of peels and pass quince flesh through a sieve or food mill. (For best results, don't use a food processor as it will result in too fine a texture.) You should have about 2 ½ pounds of fruit pulp.
  3. 3 Transfer quince pulp to a saucepan and add sugar. Ideally, you should add the same amount of sugar, by weight, as fruit pulp. Cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, frequently stirring with a wooden spoon, until paste becomes very thick and has a deep orange color, about 1 ½ hours. Draw the wooden spoon along the bottom of the saucepan: it should leave a trail, and quince mixture will stick to the spoon.
  4. 4 Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with greased parchment paper. Transfer quince paste to the baking dish, spreading it about 1 ½ inches thick. Smooth the top and allow it to cool.
  5. 5 Dry paste for about 1 ½ hours on your lowest oven setting, no more than 125 degrees F (52 degrees C). Allow quince paste to cool completely before slicing. In Europe, the traditional method of drying quince paste is to leave it in a cupboard for about 7 days. The remaining juices will continue to evaporate and render a drier paste.
  6. 6 Store quince paste in an airtight container in the refrigerator; the color will deepen with age.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a 9-inch metal pie dish into a deep baking pan; pour boiling water into the baking pan to reach about halfway up the sides of the pie dish to make a water bath.
  2. 2 Pour 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon water into a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Gently swirl mixture in the pan until sugar dissolves, melts, and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, as sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into the warmed pie dish; gently tilt the dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
  3. 3 Whisk egg yolks, condensed milk, evaporated milk, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until creamy and thoroughly combined. If mixture is foamy, skim foam off with a folded paper towel. Gently pour custard over caramel in the pie dish. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set but jiggles slightly when nudged, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove foil and place flan with the water bath in the refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours.
  5. 5 Remove the pie dish from the water bath; run a knife around the edges of flan. Invert flan onto a rimmed serving platter to release custard; let caramel sauce flow over flan.

Instructions

  1. 1 Slice off and discard tops and bottoms from oranges and lemon. Peel off and discard skin and pith of 3 of the oranges. Quarter all oranges and lemon lengthwise, then thinly slice into 1/8-inch slices, discarding seeds while slicing. Place all citrus slices in a large bowl and cover with water. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  2. 2 Pour orange and lemon slices along with water into a large stainless steel saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until orange rinds have softened and can be cut with a spoon with slight resistance, about 45 minutes, skimming any foam that rises to top during process.
  3. 3 Inspect four (½-pint) canning jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until orange marmalade is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Place a small plate in the freezer.
  4. 4 Add sugar to orange mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has slightly reduced, bubbles are slightly larger in center, and a thermometer reads 220 degrees F (104 degrees C) about 40 to 45 minutes. Mixture will stay between 212 degrees F (100 degrees C) and 216 degrees F (102 degrees C) for the majority of this time and will rise to 220 degrees F (104 degrees C) when enough liquid has evaporated.
  5. 5 To test if marmalade consistency is correct, remove plate from freezer and spoon a small amount of marmalade onto plate. Return plate to freezer for 1 minute. Remove plate from freezer; pull a finger through marmalade and across plate. It should leave a clean trail. If marmalade is runny and does not leave a clean trail, return mixture in pot to a boil over medium-high, and return plate to freezer. Boil marmalade, stirring often, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and retest thickness using plate again; repeat if necessary until it reaches desired thickness.
  6. 6 Carefully pour marmalade evenly into the prepared canning jars. Let cool to room temperature, uncovered, about 3 hours. Seal jars. Chill until marmalade sets, at least 2 hours. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Recipe developed by Marianne Williams
