My boy got up way to early for me today. We went out eating crepes and drinking too much cider from bowls last night.
These are the mornings I have to keep myself busy doing something I like, otherwise I get really upset and can’t think of anything else but our warm and cosy bed.
So while he happily did some drawings I made this ( nigel slater inspired ) quince pickle at 8.30am. I have to admit the smell of vinegar so early in the morning can be difficult.
3 – 4 middel sized quinces
750 ml cidre vinegar
400 gr brown sugar
10 juniper berries
8 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
Peel the quinces deseed and cut into slices ( Approx. 8 per quince).
Bring the vinegar, sugar and the spices to boil. Take down the heat, ad the quinces and let them simmer in the vinegar for 20 – 20 minutes.
When they are soft but not to soft teak them out and but into a jar, add the vinegar.
