Quince, like many other fruits, contains enough pectin to make natural, not-too-caloric, and very aromatic homemade marmalade. Simmer the quince until soft, puree it with a blender, and heat it with sugar until it forms a thick, dark mass. Then, allow the marmalade to set completely at room temperature and in the refrigerator.

Wash the quince, then dry it thoroughly with a towel. Prepare a saucepan, an immersion blender, a baking dish with high sides, and parchment paper.

Cut the quince into quarters and remove the core with the seeds.

Place the quince in a pot and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the quince until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, drain the water, and allow the quince to cool slightly.

Blend the puree with an immersion blender until smooth and uniform.

Place the quince puree in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the sugar.

Add 70 ml of water and mix thoroughly. Cook the puree, stirring, for 20-30 minutes until the mixture darkens noticeably and thickens. Remove the pot from the heat.

Line a mold with parchment paper, then fill it with the marmalade mixture to a depth of approximately 2-3 cm. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 24 hours to stabilize. Flip the marmalade slab and let it dry for another 8-10 hours.

Cut the marmalade into diamonds or squares, then arrange them on a tray.

Serve the quince marmalade with tea. Garnish with mint and raspberries before serving.

Buns stuffed with mushrooms are a fragrant, hearty, and comforting dish, perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a warm dinner. In an air fryer, the buns turn out especially appetizing: with a crispy, golden crust and a tender, juicy filling inside. If you don't have an air fryer, no problem – these buns bake wonderfully in the oven too, retaining their rich flavor and pleasant texture.

The mushroom filling is juicy and aromatic, with a subtle mushroom note and a creamy undertone. To make the dish even more interesting, you can add garlic, herbs, cream, or a little chicken fillet to the mushrooms.

Besides button mushrooms, other types of mushrooms are also suitable: oyster mushrooms, wild porcini, birch boletes, or chanterelles. Each type of mushroom will give the dish its own special aroma and character, making the stuffed buns a truly homemade and delicious treat.
