Quince and apple compote
This compote is a tricky balancing act between the characteristic quince flavour and just enough apples to sweeten it.
You should end up with a compote that has a delicate quince flavour rounded out by the apples and brown sugar.

Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 2 min.
Thoroughly wash 300 g quinces.
Stage 2 - 15 min.
Peel the quinces and cut into quarters. Remove the core and cut the remaining flesh into small pieces.
You will see just how difficult this is to do. Raw quinces are very hard to cut up and the pieces will oxydise and turn brown very rapidly.
From 600 g of whole quinces you should end up with about 350 g of prepared fruit. Make a note of the weight.

Stage 3 - 20 min.

Stage 7 - 7 min.
...until the apples are tender.
Stage 8 - 2 min.
Finish by blending to give a smooth compote.
Stage 9 - 3 min.
Leave to cool before transferring into jars.
Remarks
You can vary the proportion of quince to apple, starting from this initial half-and-half recipe, depending on which flavour you wish to bring out.
If you prefer a smooth compote, put the cooked fruit pieces through a vegetable mill on "fine" setting, just before stage 5, rather like for quince paste.
