The pâte de coing is made in the candy-shop Lilamand that was founded by Marius Lilamand in 1866 in Saint Rémy de Provence. His son Justin carried on with the candy-shop in 1903 and devoted himself to the making of crystallized fruits. His son Pierre continues today the tradition of crystallized fruits and pâte de coing.
Cultivation of quince may have preceded apple culture. Among the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at weddings; the Romans also used quinces with recipes for stewing quince with honey. Charlemagne was partially responsible for introducing the quince into France with his orders in the year 812 to plant trees in the royal garden. He directed that quinces be planted in well-stocked orchards. Quinces are grown in areas where summers are sufficiently hot for the fruit to fully ripen, which is the case for the Mediterranean area.
Ingredients: fruit pulp, sugar, corn syrup, apple pectin, citric acid, artificial color, natural flavor.
