©OT Doubs Baumois Quince paste: another great story from Baumois!
The quince paste are another tradition that continues among the pastry chefs and confectioners of Baume les DamesThey have a particular shape, similar to glasses, and tell us an unusual story !
The story goes back to the 14th century, when Sibilette de Vaire was an abbess. She was not only an abbess at Baume les Dames, but also in Remiremont in the Vosges. It therefore displayed a double crosier, showing its belonging to two monasteries.
One day, Sibilette de Vaire quarreled with her superior, who refused to give her money to undertake work in the abbey. It is said that she was so irritated that she hit him on the head with her crosier, as an apology (or perhaps as a provocation?!).
The story goes that on each anniversary of the argument between Sibilette de Vaire and her superior, Sibilette took great pleasure in offering her superior a box of quince paste (either to apologize, or to taunt him...). And these quince pastes were shaped like a double crosier.

©OT Doubs Baumois Crackers
A simple golden and crispy leavened dough in the shape of an 8, the craquelin originates from an old legend.
Saint Martin, passing through Baume one day, tied his donkey to the monastery gate and went inside to refresh himself. Finding the time dragging, the donkey escaped. Saint Martin asked the townspeople for help in finding his donkey. They blew into horns and watering cans to imitate the donkey's braying, and finally, it responded. It was led back through the town streets, followed by a group of children who gleefully filled their pockets with the droppings the donkey left along the way. According to this folktale, Saint Martin, out of gratitude, transformed the droppings into crackers.
