Baked Quince

User Rating 3 Star Rating (1 Review) write a review

By , About.com Guide

Baked quinces are a great fall dessert. Quinces are like an apple or pear, with a little more tartness.

The quince is not a very popular fruit in the West, but can be found in many supermarkets.

Ingredients:

  • 4 quinces
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 3 cups warm water

Preparation:

Peel, core and cut quinces in half. Place in 9x12 baking dish, flesh side up. Cover each quince half generously with butter. Sprinkle with sugar. Fill baking dish with water.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until quinces are a golden color and soft.

Allow to sit 15 minutes prior to serving.

Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or by itself.

Baked Quince, Member Kiminfrance

I tried the recipe, although it was enjoyable I have ammended the recipe and it makes the fruit much more acceptable as a after dinner sweet. Peel the quince, slice as with an apple and arrange in foil parcel with some butter, drizzle over some rose water and then drizzle over some honey, wrap up foil parcel and bake at 200 degrees until soft, the quince will turn orange. Serve with cream or ice cream.
