Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups water
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• ½ cup port wine
• 3 quince, unpeeled, washed, halved and cored
• 18 whole cloves
• ⅓ cup heavy cream, whipped (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

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.
