• In Episode #56, co-hosts Bita and Beata un-cover quince is an exotic, unique ingredient used in Persian jams and stews.  Quince is a fall and winter fruit.  It looks like a pear-apple but a blown up version...bigger, harder than pears and apples, mostly used in a cooked version.  The most interesting aspect is that it transforms from a pale color to a bright vibrant color.  Has a strong aroma or fragrance.     Cooking technique to prepare Quince jam, moraba yeh beh Use a damkoni - simmer and hold the steam in, helps with color transformation Chop into slices Add sugar and optional cardamom and cook down   Beh in Persian cuisine Khoresh beh | quince stew - sweet and sour made with quince, tart plum, tomato sauce, cinnamon or saffron, sometimes meat Jam Quince seeds (beh dooneh in Farsi) - make a tonic to aid with a cough, home remedy Sharbat - a syrupy drink or soda Ask the Beats Bita asks Beata, name the last two Persian dishes you cooked or partially cooked and how did it go?
