Morabay-e beh \u2013 Iranian Quince Jam<\/h3>
Pane-bistecca<\/div><\/div>\n
\n My sister Marisa was married to an Iranian man \u2014I’ve mentioned this before\u2014 and she cooked a slightly modified version of her family’s recipe for Morabay-e Beh, or quince jam. I’m always happy to try new\u2014and especially unusual\u2014recipes!

\nThe recipe is from her sister-in-law Nahid and is traditionally seasoned with cardamom. But this time she left out the cardamom and added cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla. My sister’s children love this jam, but Marisa and I don’t! Strange, isn’t it?

\n Marisa has reduced the sugar here considerably, as the jam becomes very sweet. Marisa says: “The version in Iran with a 1:1 sugar ratio was runny and not as thick. This is because the quinces are boiled down with water and sugar. In general, jams in Iran tend to be runny, as they always add water.

\nThe cloth around the pan lid is necessary to make the quinces turn red. Without it, they apparently don’t. I don’t know if that’s actually true. But I’ve read this in other Iranian recipes for this jam, not just my relatives told me that.”\n

\n\t\tShe continues: “The reason why I made this moraba?\nA family in my neighborhood has a quince tree, and there’s a box of quinces in front of their house with a note saying you can take them for free. So on Saturday, I took about 1.5 kg. This afternoon, I stopped by the family’s house with a small jar of this jam and a chocolate heart to thank them. I saw beaming faces. Unfortunately, you don’t really know your neighbors. But they were very happy.”\n <\/div>\n
