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 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.
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.
