Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 8 min.
Peel 12 quinces, cut into quarters and remove the core. Cut each piece in half again lengthways.
Each quince will give you 8 slices.
Each quince will give you 8 slices.
Stage 2
If you are not going to cook them right away, keep the quince slices in a bowl of water with a little lemon juice added or, better still, vitamin C, to stop them turning brown.
Stage 3 - 4 min.
Melt 90 g clarified butter in a frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add 6 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 1 litre 200 ml Jura Macvin and turn the heat down to its lowest.
Stage 7 - 1 hour
Leave to stew gently for 40 minutes to 1 hour, adding a little more Macvin from time to time if the fruit starts to dry out.
You will see that they take on a lovely reddish colour.
