I love the look , the shape and texture of the quince leaf but it is the fruit that is the hero to many sweet and savoury dish .I want to share with you how to slow cook quinces .
Preheat your oven to 180 deg C
Using a deep oven proof saucepan place 6 cups of water with t5he juice of 2 lemons ( good sized lemons ) and 4 cups of white sugar now place over heat and bring to a constant simmer stirring till thickened .
Now the amounts I have used will cook 4 quinces ....
Brush fluff from each quince and add them to the syrup .
Make sure the quinces are fully submerged weigh them down with a heat proof plate .
Now place a lid on the saucepan and into the preheated oven and bake for 3 hours .
The quinces will turn a rich red colour .
Remove from syrup , slice into wedges and serve as a side to a tart , part of a fruit crumble or to accompany a roasted joint of beef .
