      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Apple and ginger paste
  1. Line a shallow baking tin (25 x 16 cm) with baking paper and set aside.

  2. Place ginger into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.

  3. Add pear, apples, lemon zest, lemon juice and water and chop 10 sec/speed 5, then cook 30 min/100°C/speed 1. Transfer into a jug.

  4. Weigh apple and ginger mixture back into mixing bowl, noting the final weight (mixture should weigh approx. 800-900 g). Add 3/4 of the total mixture weight in sugar (approx. 600-700 g) and purée 15 sec/speed 8.

  5. Cook 99 min/100°C/speed 3, or until set (see Tips), placing simmering basket instead of measuring cup onto mixing bowl lid.

  6. Pour into prepared baking tin and allow to cool to room temperature (approx. 2 hours), then place into refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.

  7. Once set, serve immediately or store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tip

Setting point test: place a saucer into the freezer (5-10 minutes). Place 1 tsp paste onto the chilled saucer. When paste on saucer is cool, push it with your finger. If the paste wrinkles, it is set. If not, continue to cook for 10 minutes or until required consistency is achieved.

The pectin in the fruit is what helps your paste to set firm. It is best to use slightly under-ripe fruit in this recipe, as this has higher pectin levels than ripe fruit.

Serve apple and ginger paste with cheese and crackers or give as an edible gift to friends and family.

You can cut your Apple and ginger paste into a circular shape or smaller rectangular pieces, using a cookie cutter or a clean, sharp knife.

    Submitted by Monkstar on 20. March 2021 - 12:11.

    This is amazing. I have made it several times, it's an awesome gift with fancy homemade crackers. Fun fact: When I use red apples it stays green. When I use green apples it changes to red! The amount of ginger is great. I also add a teaspoon of ground ginger when I want to amp it up some more. I pour into ramekins and cover to store OR into Tupperware silicon cupcake moulds. They pop out easily and I wrap in baking paper. They last months in the fridge. I normally cook for an extra 30mins in 10min increments. I don't think reducing the lemon would be wise as that assists setting. It doesn't taste lemony to me. Thanks!

    Did anyone else find 40g of lemon too much? 

    Im currently cooking for 30mins and it smells like when I clean my thermomix. Wondering whether I should start again with less lemon?

  • OK, so the paste didn't

    Submitted by Ronnirob on 14. June 2016 - 00:47.

    OK, so the paste didn't freeze into a solid mass (I assume this is due to the high sugar content), it stayed exactly the same.

    The good thing was that I didn't have to wait for it to thaw, I ate it straight aw

    Has anyone frozen this paste?  I was thinking of putting into little round containers and freezing for use when I want it. Anyone tried this?

    This is truely amazing! I have made it so many times over the festive season and everyone has loved it! Even poeple that don't like ginger love it! I have made it with less ginger and also with less sugar and every time it works out really well! I do find that I have to  cook it for an extra 10mins but it is really easy and tastes amazing! Will continue to make this for every social gathering! WINNER!

    I have cooked and cooked - over an extra hour so far and the drop of paste on saucer is still not wrinkling ... what should I do ?  Don't know if there is a limit to the extra cooking - maybe it will not set no matter how long Zi cook it.

    Easy and super tasty. I poured the hot paste straight into little shallow, plastic, round containers, that way they are ready to pop onto the platter with the cheese and crackers plus they are easy to store in the fridge.

    Submitted by amyk11 on 13. December 2015 - 21:34.

    Paste has a nice taste and does make a lot. I didn't check the paste to see if it was cooked as suggested due to looking after a screaming baby, and did cook for 99 mins but it didn't set. What a shame.

    I made it and it turned out great but now I have no idea how to store it either, or whether I can gift it without it going runny.  Suggestions or comment anyone?

  • I used the recommended amount

    Submitted by FeedingTheBear on 28. November 2015 - 13:03.

    I used the recommended amount of ginger and the flavour was just perfect! This paste was absolutely delicious with aged cheddar and crackers. Definitely one for the upcoming festive season - one batch will see you through quite a number of cheese platters!
