Oven Roasted Quince

While raw quinces have a sweet smell, the flesh is hard and quite acidic. Quinces are most often poached or cooked into a paste, but oven roasting is a great alternative to extract maximum sweetness with minimum effort. Coconut oil and rice syrup gives our version a healthy twist – it even creates an instant sauce. Serve over ice cream or alongside cheese and crackers.

  1. Hi!
    I’m wondering how in the world one cores and removes seeds from quince, or let alone any fruit, when they’re halved! I’ve only done it when I quarter whole fruit. Do you use a certain tool? The quince I just halved were very hard. I tried to core them but maybe I just don’t have the correct knife or tool.. So I left the cores & seeds in this time.
    Please let me know!
    Thank you,
    Renée
