Syruped Quince with Cream

The Ottoman Cuisine

SYRUPED QUINCE WITH CREAM (Kremalı Ayva Tatlısı)

Three quinces are cut into four pieces and each boiled in half a litre of boiling water and taken out with a strainer. Sufficient sugar is added to the same water and a little of a lemonis juice is squeezed into it. Quinces are thrown back into the water again together with their seeds packed into a small square of cheesecloth. When cooked to a reasonable softness, they are transferred into a service plate and cream is put into their seedbeds.
