Preparation

Step 1

Place quinces in a heavy saucepan.

Add lemon peel and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook uncovered over medium heat, occasionally turning quinces, about 50 minutes, until they are tender and half the water has evaporated. Discard lemon peel.

Add sugar and cinnamon

Swirl pan gently to dissolve sugar without disturbing quinces.

Cook over medium-low heat, gently basting quinces, 20 minutes.

Quinces should look glazed.

If necessary, remove them with a slotted spoon, and cook syrup down a bit before pouring over quinces.

Refrigerate quinces and syrup in a bowl.

Serve cold.
