Dessert, Side Dish, Quince: Poached Quince
Ingredients:
- 4-5 medium sized quinces
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 whole pepper corns
- Rind of 1 lemon, julienned
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 cups water
- Put everything except the quinces in a pot and bring to a boil.
- In the mean time, peel, core and quarter the quince.
- After the mixture is boiling, add the quince and turn down the heat.
- Let simmer until the quince are fairly soft when you poke a fork into it. Depending on the ripeness of the fruit, this can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 minutes.
- Pull out the quince quarters with a slotted spoon.
- Strain the leftover liquid to get rid of the peppercorns and lemon rind.
- Add the quince back to the juice.
- You can serve this as a side to meat, or as a dessert as is. However the quince can then be used in various pastries or dishes (like quince tartletts, or quince apple pie).
- Quince can be stored after poaching for up to two weeks when left in their juices in an air tight container.
