Lemon Pear Fruit Pate

A cousin to Membrillo, a traditional condiment from Spain that is often served with aged Manchego, Spain's flagship sheep's milk cheese. The preparation is simple but time consuming. Whole US-grown quince is cooked and milled into a smooth puree. Sugar and lemon are then added and cooked carefully for several hours so that the sugars gently caramelize adding a rich amber hue and gentle sweetness. We are proud to be the first US company to produce this traditional European delicacy here at home.
