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 ½ cups water
- ½ cup port wine
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream, whipped (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.
