About

Quinces bring a delicate perfume to the kitchen in late autumn. They are gorgeous poached and served with cream or ice cream, and make a sweet and slightly tangy paste to serve with cheese. This simple recipe produces a white poached quince flesh with sweet and sour flavours. It is delicious served with rich pork dishes or confit duck as a foil to their fattiness.
