chattius 2,527 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Quince cheese is a paste made from quinces boiled with a lot of sugar. Quittenbrot is similiar. Quinces are boiled and pressed through linnen, the juice is used to make fine jelly. The remains in the linnen are mixed with sugar and dried (in our staircase oven) on plates and then cut into cookies. Harder and less sweet than quince cheese. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 What's the consistency of quince cheese? Is it like a gum drop? Link to comment
chattius 2,527 Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Consistency, hard to tell a chewing feeling. Quince cheese is more like Haribo Tropifrutti, Quittenbrot more like Haribo Liquorice. Link to comment

chattius 2,527 Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 Strudel is an all year food. For x-mas time we do Stollen. At my birthtown Wetzlar a special Stollen is done. Stollen has a dual meaning in german: either the cake bread or an (iron) mine. The special stollen (bread) is placed 100m below surface 4 weeks for riping in a Stollen (mine). Constant temperature and moisture without energy costs. Link to comment
