Dessert is my least favourite part of a meal, but when quinces are in season, all that changes! The thing to remember with quinces is that they require some forethought in timing their slow cooking to your meal. The effect of the long cooking is that the quinces change from bright yellow to a deep ruby red. They remain whole, but are so well cooked you can even eat the cores! Avoid super large or pineapple variety quinces for this kind of method though -MB.
