Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Crumble Mixture ( makes 6 small pots)

  • 125 gm butter soft
  • 100 gm brown sugar
  • 150 gm flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Quince mixture

  • 750 ml black ginger tea strong (using 2 Tablespoons of ginger tea - berry bomb tea is also delicious. If the tea doesn't measure up to 3 cups... add some more water to the tea sit for 2 minutes and use)
  • 200 gm caster sugar
  • 50 ml lemon or 1/2 a lemon to on rub quince pieces
  • 2-3 slices ginger of fresh
  • 50 gm raspberries frozen
  • 6 whole walnuts roasted , broken up
  • 2 whole small-medium quinces
  • Chopped crystalised ginger dice optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix the butter, sugar, flour and ginger in a mixer until just combined and lumps start to form. Put aside till needed

Cook the Quince

  • Put the tea, sugar and ginger in a pot .
  • Peel the quinces with a peeler cutting out the core and hard centre bits. Rub each piece with a little lemon and put into the pot of prepared tea.
  • Bring the pot to the boil and immediately turn onto low, adding the lid. The fruit will float to the top, I usually put a saucer into the pot to hold the fruit under the liquid. The fruit will take about 1 - 1 1/2 hours to cook on very low. The colour should turn a beautiful pink. Take the fruit out of the syrup and cool. The syrup can be reduced and kept.
  • Once cooled you will probably only need about 1 of the Quinces for these small pies. Chop into chunks and mix with the raspberries and some of the diced ginger into a bowl, add a Tablespoon or two of the reduced Quince syrup.
  • Spoon the fruit into individual ramekins and cover with crumble dotting with some pieces of walnut.
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes
