Quinces poached in white wine
Author: Riverford Organics | Published: 15th October 2019 06:54 |
The spices echo the fruit’s own fragrance, but aren’t essential; you could simply use the wine and sugar. These are ideal served as part of a dessert or used in a savoury context, alongside some roast pork or salty cheddar.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
• 1 bottle white wine
• 100g sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 star anise
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 quinces (about 700g)
Instruction
- Tip the wine into a deep saucepan and add the sugar and spices.
- Peel the quinces and cut each one into 8 equal wedges. Remove the tough core and seeds with a simple v-shaped cut. Add the wedges straight into the pan and sit the skin peelings on top – they add to the flavour but also help to keep the fruit submerged in the liquid.
- Bring to a simmer and poach gently for about 40 mins, or until tender to the tip of a knife. Allow to cool in the liquid.
- Drain away and reserve the liquid. Discard the peelings and spices. Store the quinces covered in the liquid.
