  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 4-5 tbsp. unrefined brown sugar adapt to your taste
  • 300 ml sweet red wine

Instructions
 

  • Peel the quinces, cut them into quarters and put them in a bowl with the lemon juice.
  • Put the quinces (and their seeds to thicken the syrup) together with the lemon juice and all the other ingredients in a saucepan. Boil on low heat with the lid closed for about 30 minutes.
  • In the last ten minutes, open the lid to help the syrup get thicker, stir and cook over low to medium heat, by taking care not to burn it.
  • Serve with cinnamon and any syrup of your choice (maple, fig, carob honey, agave, etc.)

Notes

  • Serve warm or cold.
  • You can also bake them in the oven.
  • You can replace quinces with pears or apples.
