QUINCE GLACE (Turkey)

INGREDIENTS:
1.1 pounds of quince
0.6 pounds of sugar
1 stick of cinnamon



METHOD:
First remove the skin of the quinces and their seeds. Do not throw the seeds and skin, but put them to cook in 2 pints of water for an hour at low fire. When this period of time is over, pass by the strainer adding immediately all the sugar and stir until it dissolves.
At the same time we boil the flesh of the fruit in water -user very low quantity of water, just to cover the fruit - for half an hour or so. This short period won't be able to make quince soft, but it will make easier the oven's job. Now put the cooked flesh on a pan that can be baked and bathe with the broth that we have obtained from the skin and seeds.
Preheat the oven at 190 F degrees and leave inside until the quince gets glace (which means soft and soaked in sugar water). This may take some hours (2 at least), so be patience. It is served as dessert with a bit of creamy vanilla ice cream or directly topped with cream (like in Turkey the restaurants do).
