Quince is one of those hidden seasonal gems that transforms beautifully when cooked. Raw quince is firm and tart, but when slowly baked it softens, turning tender and fragrant with a delicate golden-pink colour.
This slow-baked quince recipe highlights the fruit’s natural flavour with a touch of maple syrup, warm cinnamon and cardamom. A splash of orange juice adds brightness while helping the fruit caramelise gently in the oven.
The result is a soft, aromatic fruit dish that pairs perfectly with yogurt, granola bowls, porridge or even toasted bread.
