Quinces in wine - cotognata

A few days ago I couldn't resist buying quince (kweeperen, coings, marmelos....). I love this fruit, the smell and flavour are almost like perfume. I meant to prepare a chicken stew with them, but as I already used chicken for the broth, I decided to prepare the quince separately as a dessert.
The recipe by Claudia Roden has already been posted by labelga.


I used red wine, about 200 ml, a cinnamon stick in stead of powder and only 6-7 cloves.
I added a lot of water and also some lemon juice.
When the fruit was cooked, I took it out and left the liquid to cook for another 15 min. It didn't get very sirupy in that time but I like it this way.
