Baked Quince with Cinnamon
This autumn dessert is exceptionally simple to prepare and bursting with flavor. You have the flexibility to replace the port with any fruit liqueur or sweet red wine of your choice. Pair it with whipped cream or ice cream for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
- 3 quince, unpeeled, washed, halved and cored
- 18 whole cloves
- 1 ½ cups water
- ½ cup port wine
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup heavy cream, whipped (Optional)
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
