Baked Quinces
Baked Quinces with brown sugar, honey and butter, an easy Autumn recipe that bursts with delicious flavours. The quinces become soft and golden brown, and the slight caramelisation enhances the natural sweetness. A proper harvest treat! The quince halves are easier to bake than whole fruit, and the also cut down on the baking time.
