These fun quince and goat's cheese dodgers from Sarah Frankland are very easy to make at home, and a fun and slightly more sophisticated twist on the traditional kind!
Place the water, 100g caster sugar and lemon juice into a pan and bring to the boil
Place the quince into the boiling syrup, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 hours until or soft
Preheat the oven to 160°C
Rub the flour, salt and butter together until they resemble breadcrumbs
Add the cheese and mix through
Add enough egg to combine to a dough, then knead until smooth
Allow to rest for 20 minutes
Roll the pastry out until 3mm thick. Use a 5cm diameter round cutter to cut out 24 discs. Cut little hearts into half of the discs
Transfer the dodgers to a lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes
Remove the quince from the syrup and allow to cool slightly, then blitz until smooth
Weigh out 250g quince purée and then place into a new pan. Mix the pectin with the remaining 25g caster sugar, rain into the purée and bring to the boil
Remove from the heat, then transfer the paste to a container to cool and set
Once cooled, blend the quince paste into a pipeable consistency and use to sandwich the jammy dodgers together, using one solid disc and one with a heart cut out per dodger
