Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Quince with Cinnamon and Cloves.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your beautiful quince and gently insert three whole cloves into each half, infusing them with a delightful aroma.
Step 3
Next, place the quince halves in a roasting pan, ensuring the cut sides are facing down to soak up all the flavors.
Step 4
Pour in a splash of water and a generous amount of port wine, then toss in a couple of cinnamon sticks for that warm, spicy touch.
Step 5
Now, sprinkle sugar evenly over the quince halves, creating a sweet crust that will caramelize beautifully as they bake.
Step 6
Slide the pan into your preheated oven and let the quince roast for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 7
Once they’re looking delicious, carefully flip the quince halves right-side up and let them bake for another 10 minutes, allowing them to become tender and juicy.
Step 8
When they’re done, take the pan out of the oven and let the quince cool for a moment.
Step 9
Serve each half on a plate, drizzling the luscious pan juices over them, and if you’re feeling indulgent, add a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Step 10
Enjoy this delightful treat that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
