These whole roasted quinces make a beautiful end to an autumn meal. If quinces are smaller than eight ounces each, they will cook more quickly. Ingredients:
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
6 (8-ounce) quinces, peeled |
1/2 cup apple cider |
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces |
1/3 cup whipping cream |
2 tablespoons powdered sugar |
freshly grated nutmeg (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place juice in another bowl. Working with 1 quince at a time, dip quince in juice, turning to coat; dredge quince in sugar mixture, turning to coat. Place quince, stem side up, in 8-inch square baking dish. Repeat procedure with remaining quinces, juice, and sugar mixture. Sprinkle quinces evenly with remaining sugar mixture. Pour cider in bottom of dish; place 1 teaspoon butter on top of each quince. Bake at 400° for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until quinces are golden brown and liquid is thick, basting every 30 minutes. Place 1 quince on each of 6 plates; drizzle quinces evenly with remaining syrup in pan.
