Notes
- Quinces are not the softest fruit raw, so do be careful when using a sharp knife to halve and core them!
- Avoid quinces that are greenish, they are underripe, and they won't taste as well. They will lack any sweetness, and they will be hard to core.
- The honey, butter and sugar create a wonderful sauce that adds so much flavour to the baked quinces, and it's perfect for serving with a good scoop of ice cream or custard.
