This is more or less the way Ketty makes her quinces. She is a special cook and has a wonderful restaurant in Plaka, Athens, called Café Avissinia. You could serve these with pistachio or vanilla ice cream or a dollop of thick cream or crème fraiche.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons raisins
  • 4 tablespoons good brandy
  • 4 qui

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Put the raisins in a small bowl with the brandy and leave to soak for a bit.

Cut the quinces in half, leaving their skins on, and core them, making a nice nest where the core was. Put them in an ovenproof dish where they will fit compact
