Ingredients
- 3 quinces
- 450 ml water
- 200 g caster or granulated sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
- 10 g pistachio and/or kaymak to serve
Instructions
- To prepare the quinces, cut them in half and remove the seeds and cores. Peeling the quinces is optional and I usually leave them on.
- Place the quince halves in a pan along with the sugar, water, quince seeds, cinnamon sticks and/or cloves.
- Bring the pan to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and let the quince halves simmer gently with a lid on for about an hour, or until the quinces are tender and pink.
- After cooking the quinces, take them out of the syrup and transfer them to a serving dish. Discard the cinnamon stick and cloves and let the quinces cool down completely before serving.
- After the quince halves have cooled down, transfer them to a serving dish and pour some of the syrup over them.
- Chill the dish in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight until the quince halves are set.
- Serve the ayva tatlisi chilled, garnished with crushed pistachios or /and Turkish clotted cream "Kaymak".

Notes
- When making Ayva Tatlisi, it's best to use a ripe and fragrant quince that's in season. Since the recipe only requires a few ingredients, it's crucial to ensure that the main ingredient is of high quality.
- Use a sharp knife to peel and core the quince. Quince fruit is quite firm, so a dull knife will make the process more difficult and dangerous.
- While poaching the quince, include the seeds and peels in the pan as they contribute a notable reddish hue to Ayva Tatlisi.
- Be patient when simmering the quince halves in the sugar syrup. The fruit needs to cook slowly and absorb the flavor of the syrup for the dessert to be successful.
- Serve the dessert chilled for the best flavor and texture.
