Quince Syrup
Although the syrup is the goal here, it's also a byproduct of making poached quince.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds quince, peeled and cut into quarters
- 5 cups water
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
- In a large saucepan, combine the quince, water, honey, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the quince are fork tender, 45-50 minutes.
- Let cool slightly and strain off the syrup. There should be about 1 1/4 cup of syrup. If not, add water or gently reduce over low heat. Reserve the poached quince for another use and refrigerate the syrup until ready to use.
