This is a very easy and flavorful autumn dessert. You can substitute any fruit liqueur or sweet red wine for the port. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Ingredients:
3 quince, unpeeled, washed, halved and cored |
18 whole cloves |
1 1/2 cups water |
1/2 cup port wine |
3 cinnamon sticks |
1/3 cup white sugar |
1/3 cup heavy cream, whipped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Press three cloves into each quince half. Place the fruit in a roasting pan cut-side down. Add the water, wine, and cinnamon sticks to the pan; sprinkle the sugar over the quince.
3. Bake the fruit in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Turn the quince right-side up and bake until tender, about 10 more minutes.
4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the quince cool slightly. Transfer each quince half to a plate and drizzle with a tablespoon of juices from the roasting pan and a dollop of whipped cream.
