Oregon Growers Lemon & Pear Fruit Spread
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.
Suggested cheese pairings:
• Oregon Blue – Rogue Creamery (OR)
• Great Hill Blue – Great Hill Dairy (MA)
• Point Reyes Blue – Point Reyes Farmstead (CA)
• Fourme d’Ambert – (France)
