SPICED QUINCE

I served this as a starter last night , it was delicious . Dissolve 1 dsp of honey in a large saucepan with 120 gm of brown sugar 750 ml of water . Add 4 quinces peeled , cored and quartered , 1 vanilla pod , cut into 4 , 1 tsp of ground cinnamon ,the zest of 1 lemon and 4 whole cloves . Cover the pot . Bring this mixture to a slow simmer and ok gently for 2 hours . Pan-fry 8 slices of pancetta until crispy then resting them on paper towelling to remove excess fat . Serve the strained quinces on a large plate in the centre of the table with the crispy pancetta slices .
