I’m always grateful when friends share their home grown produce, and recently it was a big bag of quinces! Have you ever tried cooking with them? I always thought they required lots of time, but in fact, they’re very simple to prepare and the cooking time is greatly reduced once sliced.
When poached with liquid and spices, the quinces soak up the flavours and colours, and transform into delicate dishes - delicious and subtly sweet!
Make an easy and delicious breakfast or dessert using Quince!
I poached and sliced the quince in an organic pure fruit juice with sweet spices, cinnamon pod, vanilla and nutmeg. I simply served this with coconut yoghurt and berries

I’ve poached a couple of quinces in red wine, water, bay leaf and a squeeze of lemon. Served with rocket leaves, slithers of fresh Parmesan and a handful of roasted walnuts. A simply delicious and well balanced dish!
