Ingredients
6 servings
- •2 cups water
- •1 cup white sugar
- •0.5 vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise
- •1 cinnamon stick
- •0.5 lemon, juiced
- •2 pounds ripe quinces
Instructions
- Combine water, sugar, vanilla bean, and cinnamon stick in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. Boil for 1 minute, then remove sugar syrup from heat.
- Fill a large bowl with water and stir in lemon juice. Peel, halve, and core quinces. Depending on their size, cut each into quarters or 8 pieces and immediately submerge in lemon water to prevent browning.
