SPICY QUINCE AND CRANBERRY CHUTNEY
This is a much more lively alternative to plain cranberry sauce and is one of my very favorites. I buy the quinces (membrillos) at a local Mexican grocery store. It is so worth the extra effort!

CRANBERRY-QUINCE HAND PIES
Floral quinces and tart cranberries make a lovely deep pink filling for these little pies. You can freeze them for 3 days before baking; if you do, wait until you are ready to bake them to brush the tops and sprinkle with sugar, and give them a few extra minutes in the oven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Add the quinces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Add the cranberries, granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is syrupy, the quinces are tender and the cranberries start to burst (or you can pop them), 4 to 5 minutes more. Stir in the salt. Transfer the mixture to a metal bowl and refrigerate until cool, about 15 minutes.
- Dice the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into bits and fold it into the fruit. Cut the pie crusts into twelve 4-inch rounds. (You'll have to reroll the scraps from each crust to get enough.)
- Fill a small bowl with water. Brush the edge of one of the pastry rounds with water. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon (about 1 1/4 ounces) filling into the center. Fold the dough over the filling, seal by pressing the edges with a fork and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, leaving a few inches between the pies. Brush the tops with a little water and sprinkle with some of the raw sugar. Use a paring knife to cut two little vents in the tops of the pies.
- Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 24 minutes, rotating the pan after 12 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and let the pies cool for 5 minutes before serving. They can also be served at room temperature.
QUINCE, CRANBERRY, AND APPLE SAUCE
If you haven't cooked quince before, this is a good way to start. The sauce is tangy, not overly sweet, and because the fruit pieces tend to stay intact when cooked, you will enjoy the distinctive taste and texture. Though it is not as sweet as cotognata (the quince sauce that follows), you can enjoy it in many of the same ways, such as spooned onto buttered toast or stirred into a bowl of yogurt, for a tangy snack.

Steps:
- Put into saucepan the spices, orange zest, orange juice, and honey, sloshing out the cup with the warm water.
- Rinse the quince, cut them in quarters, and peel off the skin. Pare out the core and the seeds, then slice each wedge crosswise in pieces about 1/3 inch thick. Drop the quince chunks into the saucepan, and set it over moderate heat. Stir as the honey dissolves and the liquid comes to a bubbling simmer. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook slowly for about 5 minutes, until the quince chunks have started to soften; don't let them get mushy. Remove from the heat.
- While the quince are cooking, peel, quarter, and core the apples, and cut into pieces the same size as the quince. Rinse and drain the cranberries. Stir the apple pieces and the berries into the pan. The syrupy liquid should just reach the top of the fruit; add water (or more orange juice) if there's not enough.
- Put a cover on the pan and set it over medium-high heat. Bring the syrup back to the boil, and cook about 4 minutes, until the cranberries are starting to pop (a bit longer if the berries were frozen).
- Uncover, and simmer until the cranberries have broken up and turned to sauce, about 10 minutes. Stir frequently but gently, so the quince and apple chunks stay intact. Remove from the heat while the sauce is still pourable-it will thicken as it cools. Taste, and stir in honey if you want a sweeter sauce.
- Cool briefly, then lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of the sauce to keep a skin from forming. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks. (You can freeze the sauce; the consistency will change, but the flavor will be fresh.)
- Good with roast turkey at the holidays, or any other roast poultry, meats, or winter vegetables.
- A great condiment for cold meats: try it on a turkey or roast-pork sandwich.

Steps:
- Peel, quarter, and core quinces, reserving peel and cores, then cut quarters into 1/4-inch pieces. Tie up peel and cores in cheesecloth. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then add quince and cheesecloth bundle and simmer, partially covered, until quince is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add cranberries and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cranberries burst and soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain mixture in a large medium-mesh sieve set over a bowl, discarding cheesecloth bundle and reserving cranberry solids, then return cooking liquid to pan and boil, uncovered, until syrupy and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir together syrup and cranberry mixture in bowl, then cool to room temperature.
