Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 4 ripe quinces
• 1 bottle (750ml) Greek white wine
• 1 cup honey
• 2 cups water
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 6 whole cloves
• 3 star anise pods

Instructions

1. Wash and peel the quinces, then slice them into wedges and remove the seeds.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the wine, honey, water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the honey is completely dissolved.
3. Add the quince wedges to the saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 30 minutes, or until the quinces are tender but still hold their shape.
4. Remove from heat and let the quinces cool in the poaching liquid. Once cooled, discard the spices.

Chef’s Insight
