Cotognata, membrillo, quince jelly ...

As forecast, the weather has got warmer, wetter and windier.  Today it excelled itself, with very high wind squalls, torrents of rain - and temperatures above 20°, very weird.

As Pietro and Marijke have a quince tree here in the garden, Barbara decided to tackle the making of some quince jelly - called cotognata here, and popular in Spain, where it is called membrillo.  Generally it's a bit thicker than jam, and can even be sliced as an accompaniment to cheese. 

The best view we had all day!

Coognata - the white flesh of the quince changes to pink and even to ruby red during the cooking process
