quince paste
noun [ U ] uk/ˈkwɪns ˌpeɪst/ us/ˌkwɪns ˈpeɪst/
温悖酱
a sweet and soft, but firm, food that you can cut, made from quinces (= hard fruit that look like apples) cooked with sugar
The quince is now making a comeback, not so much as sweet jelly, but as quince paste to accompany cheese, also known as membrillo. 现在榅桲又卷土重来,不再作为甜果冻,而是作为榅桲酱来搭配奶酪,榅桲酱又叫“membrillo”。
We paid $4 for some thin blocks of quince paste. 我们花四美元买了一些薄块的榅桲酱。
