Poached quinces
Poached quinces are a delicious treat. Quinces are a fruit similar in appearance to apples and pears. When they are poached, they are gently simmered in a sweet syrup until they become tender and infused with a delightful flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 quinces
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 lemon zest and juice
Optional:
- vanilla bean or other spices for extra flavor
Instructions
- Start by peeling the quinces and cutting them into quarters. Remove the cores and seeds.
- In a large saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, and juice. If desired, you can also add a split vanilla bean or any other spices you prefer.
- Place the quince quarters into the saucepan with the poaching liquid. Make sure the quinces are fully submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the quinces become tender and turn a beautiful rosy color.
- Once the quinces are poached to perfection, remove them from the liquid and let them cool slightly.
- You can serve the poached quinces warm or chilled, as you prefer. They make a delightful dessert on their own, but you can also enjoy them with ice cream, yogurt, or as a topping for pancakes or waffles.
