Quince Compote 3 Ingredients: 2 quinces 240 g caster sugar 275 ml water Juice of half a lemon Cooking Instructions: Peel and core the quinces and cut into thick slices. Make a thin syrup by simmering the sugar, water and lemon juice together and put in the peel and corings. Cook for 30 minutes, at which point the syrup will have become viscous. Strain the liquid and return to the pan. Bring it back to the simmer and poach the slices of quince in it until they are soft - probably another 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the pan and if the syrup seems to be vanishing, add a tablespoon or two of water. You could add a drop of orange flower water. Serve hot or cold. |

Quince-and-Cranberry Compote Ingredients: 6 med Quince 6 cup Water 2 cup Sugar 12 Cloves 18 whl allspice berries 1 lrg Orange peel strip 2 pkt Cranberries 1 Cinnamon stick (3" long) Cranberry juice, optional Balsamic vinegar, to taste Cooking Instructions: Cut each quince into quarters, then cut quarters into pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Grasp each piece firmly and cut away peel and core with sharp knife. When all slices have been cored and peeled, cut each piece into small chunks. Don't worry about the fruit discoloring. In saucepan, combine water, sugar, spices and orange peel. Bring mixture to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add quince. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook very slowly until fruit has turned a deep pink color, about 2 hours. You don't need to worry about overcooking as the fruit will hold its texture well. If cooked slowly, there should still be quite a bit of liquid in pan when fruit is done. Sort through cranberries, remove those that are not in good shape and rinse the rest. Add cranberries to cooked quince. If mixture seems too dry, add a little more water or cranberry juice. Increase heat a little and cook cranberries until they begin to pop open, 12-to-15 minutes. Use rubber scraper to gently mix them with quince. When done, refrigerate compote to cool, then stir in enough vinegar to balance the sweetness. |

Quince Compote with Cinnamon Ingredients: 3 lrg quinces 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup strained fresh lemon juice, optional 2 tsp ground cinnamon Cooking Instructions: Peel quinces, cut into eighths and cut out core and seed section from each piece. Place quince pieces in heavy saucepan, add water just to cover and bring to boil. Cook uncovered over medium-low heat, carefully turning over slices from time to time, about 50 minutes, or until tender and only about half covered with water. Cooking time varies with size of the fruit and degree of ripeness. Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Swirl pan and baste quinces with liquid to dissolve sugar. Cook over medium heat 5 minutes, then over low heat 30 minutes, basting from time to time. Watch carefully; it may scorch. When quinces are ready, they should be very tender and appear shiny and glazed. Syrup should taste concentrated. Spoon into serving dishes with syrup. Serve cold. |

Spiced Quince Compote Ingredients: 1 1/2 qt Water 2 lb Ripe (bright yellow) quinces 1 c Sugar 1/2 Vanilla bean 1 Cinnamon stick (2-inch) 4 Cloves 1/8 ts Cardamom seeds 2 Wide strips orange peel Cooking Instructions: Put the water in a saucepan to heat. Rinse the quinces, then using a sharp paring knife, quarter the fruits. Carefully cut out the cores. Hold each piece firmly as you work so that it doesnt snap in 2. Slice each quarter into pieces about 1/2-inch thick, then cut away the peels. As you work, put the cores and peels in the pan of water--they will impart both flavor and body to the water, due to the natural pectin in the fruit. Allow the skins and cores to simmer slowly, covered, for about 20 minutes, then strain, keeping the liquid. Dont worry about the peeled fruit discoloring--it will turn pink when cooked. Combine the sugar, spices, orange peel and the strained liquid in a non-corroding pan. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar and add the quinces. Cut out a disk of parchment paper and place it directly on the surface to prevent any exposed slices from drying out. Simmer slowly until the quinces have turned pink and are slightly translucent but still firm to the touch, 2-to-2 1/2 hours. When done, transfer them to a bowl with the syrup and chill well before serving. |
