Quince, Ginger and Peach Yoghurt

Most people have probably heard of quinces before and maybe even eaten the odd cake with it at a cafe. So it isn't entirely exotic. But then, i've never cooked it myself, so I thought I might give it a go.This recipe also involves making yoghurt from scratch. Obviously you could just buy some and add the quince but then that would be cheating!

Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 10hrs (a lot of this time can be overnight while the yoghurt sets)
Total Cost: Approximately $4 for 1.5L of fruity yoghurt.
Ingredients
Plain Yoghurt:

1L milk
30g milk powder
4 tbs store bought plain yoghurt (silly i know, but necessary, after the first batch you can use your own)

Fruit Mix:

1 quince (peeled and diced)
3 peaches (diced, leave on the skin for texture)
1 tbs fresh grated ginger
1/2 tbs butter
1 tbs brown sugar
honey to taste

Instructions:
Yoghurt:

1. Heat milk and milk powder in a saucepan to 90 degrees C. Now cool quickly by pouring into a clean bowl floating in an icy bath.

2. When temperature of the milk reaches 43 degrees stir in yoghurt.

3. Pour into a preheated thermos. Let sit for at least 6 hours (or overnight) until yoghurt has set. Refrigerate (it will set even more when it cools).

Fruit Mix:

1. Heat butter in a saucepan. Add quince and ginger. Cook until quince is soft. Add sugar and peach. Cook for another 2 minutes.

2. Refrigerate fruit mix until cool.

Mix fruit with yoghurt and add honey to taste. Serve.

Other ideas: Puree the fruit mix in a food processor and serve with pork instead of apple sauce.
