Meet the makers: the Greek co-op putting traditional spoon sweets on the map

The name 'spoon sweets' refers to the fact that the fruit or nut concoction is so sugary that it can only be eaten one spoonful at a time, often as an afternoon treat, tempered by a dollop of yoghurt. This spoon sweet is made from quince, and would typically be served with a Greek coffee and a glass of water.
