The season is short, so let’s make the most of it.</p> <p>This is just a simple roast fruit and cream dessert. Quince really does well after a poach and roast. The firm yellow floral fragranced flesh reminiscent of an under-ripe pear morphs into a lovely, soft fleshed fruit once cooked. Since we can’t eat it raw, it definitely needs some help. In this case, I turned to Nigel Slater to check out his recipe for what was growing in my imagination.</p> <p>He recommends poaching the quince halves first. This makes total sense. Get them nice and tender before putting them in the oven. This will ensure that they are already cooked through gently, and that the dry heat of the oven will add depth with caramelization. But we aren’t asking the oven to cook the fruit all the way through. This way is much faster.</p> <p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-9273 aligncenter" src="http://www.thelemonapron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Roast-quince-8-e1573246470820.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="562"></p> <p>So into a simple syrup seasoned with star anise and cloves for the quince halves. If you have larger quince, go ahead and quarter them. You’ll also want to peel and core them of the seeds and stem etc. They’ll simmer away until a knife can slide into the fruit flesh without resistance.</p> <p>Then we’re going to transfer the quince slices to a baking sheet. Some of the poaching liquid will be mixed with maple syrup. This will get poured over the fruit. And into the oven. Let them bake until they have turned the most lovely shade of salmon pink (some may turn more golden orange) It really is fun to see how the yellow flesh when raw changes with the roasting process. </p> <p><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-9271 aligncenter" src="http://www.thelemonapron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Roast-quince-6-e1573246432972.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="552"></p> <p>Throughout the baking process I will baste the quince slices with the liquid. It will help create a lovely glaze on the outside. Save some of the poaching liquid, and if you find that the liquid in the baking pan are thickening to the point of evaporating and sticking to the bottom, you can add a bit more (hopefully before it got to that point!), so that there will still be a saucy liquid to roast in. Roast them until they have softened perfectly, so that a fork can pierce through with no resistance.</p> <p>Once out of the oven, serve two slices or one half in a small bowl per person. I love to add labneh that I have sweetened slightly with more maple or honey. Add some crunch with pistachio slivers or pieces. As a final garnish, sprinkle some sumac over the quince slices. The citrusy sumac will add a freshness to the rich, sweet fruit.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-9268 aligncenter" src="http://www.thelemonapron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Roast-Quince-3-e1573246213372.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="552"></p> <p>This makes for a light but satisfying finish to a winter meal. It may be rich in sweetness and floral fruit, but it really is rather light. I think the labneh helps cut through it all. So it doesn’t end up being too heavy a dessert. Roasted fruit is a lovely alternative if you are trying to keep the baked goods to a minimum during the carb loaded winter months.</p> <p>Also, if you have leftover roasted quince, feel free to slice it up and serve it with oatmeal and granola the next morning. Or on top of a scoop of yogurt and sprinkled with nuts and chia seeds. </p> <p>Love Jen </p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-9267 aligncenter" src="http://www.thelemonapron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Roast-quince-1-e1573246012165.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="562"></p> <div id="recipe"></div><div id="wprm-recipe-container-9289" class="wprm-recipe-container" data-recipe-id="9289" data-servings="4"><div class="wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-basic"><div class="wprm-container-float-left"> <div class="wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" style="border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;" width="150" height="150" src="https://thelemonapron.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Roast-quince-8-500x500.jpg" class="attachment-150x150 size-150x150" alt="" /></div> </div> <a href="https://thelemonapron.com/wprm_print/9289" style="" class="wprm-recipe-print wprm-recipe-link wprm-print-recipe-shortcode wprm-block-text-normal" data-recipe-id="9289" data-template="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><span class="wprm-recipe-icon wprm-recipe-print-icon"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px" width="16px" height="16px" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><g ><path fill="#333333" d="M19,5.09V1c0-0.552-0.448-1-1-1H6C5.448,0,5,0.448,5,1v4.09C2.167,5.569,0,8.033,0,11v7c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h4v4c0,0.552,0.448,1,1,1h12c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-4h4c0.552,0,1-0.448,1-1v-7C24,8.033,21.833,5.569,19,5.09z M7,2h10v3H7V2z M17,22H7v-9h10V22z M18,10c-0.552,0-1-0.448-1-1c0-0.552,0.448-1,1-1s1,0.448,1,1C19,9.552,18.552,10,18,10z"/></g></svg></span> Print</a> <div class="wprm-spacer" style="height: 5px"></div> <h2 class="wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold">Maple Roasted Quince with Labneh, Pistachios and Sumac</h2> <div class="wprm-spacer" style="height: 5px"></div> <div class="wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-normal"><span style="display: block;">Luscious quince fruit is poached and then roasted with maple syrup and whole spices.
