Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole quinces
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup plain yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and peel the quinces, then slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the cores to create a hollow in the center of each half.
Place the quince halves cut side up in a baking dish. Add the cinnamon stick and pour the water around the quinces into the baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the honey until well combined.
Drizzle the butter and honey mixture over the top of the quince halves, ensuring each is evenly coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam, then place the dish in the preheated oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quinces are easily pierced with a fork and have turned a rich rosy color.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the quinces cool slightly before serving.
To serve, place a baked quince half on a plate, drizzle with some of the syrup from the baking dish, and add a dollop of plain yoghurt on the side.
For optional garnishes, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and add a couple of fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
