BAKED QUINCE WITH CINNAMON image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 recipe - 3 quinces, unpeeled, washed, halved and cored
1 recipe - 18 whole cloves
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup port wine
3 sticks cinnamon
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup (optional) heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Press three cloves into each quince half. Place the fruit in a roasting pan cut-side down. Add the water, wine, and cinnamon sticks to the pan; sprinkle the sugar over the quinces.
Bake the fruit in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Turn the quinces right-side up and bake until tender, about 10 more minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the quinces cool slightly. Transfer each quince half to a plate and drizzle with a tablespoon of juices from the roasting pan and a dollop of whipped cream.
