Melt 30 g clarified butter in a frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add 2 tablespoons caster sugar.
Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.
Leave the sugar to caramelize slightly, then add the quince slices.
Stage 5 - ⌛ 6 min.
Brown on both sides.
Stage 6 - ⌛ 1 min.
Then add 400 ml Jura Macvin and turn the heat down to its lowest.
