  •  cardamom pods green crushed
  • slices optional: lemon (1/4-inch-thick)
  • slices cranberry-orange relish (1/4-inch-thick)
  •  quinces ( 2 pounds total)
  • cups sugar 
  • cups water 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. Peel quinces, then quarter and core. Cover with water in a bowl (to prevent discoloration).
  2. Bring water, sugar, citrus slices, and cardamom pods to a simmer in a small pot, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  3. Cut quince quarters into 1/4-inch-thick wedges and add to syrup. Return to a simmer and cover quince with a round of parchment paper. Simmer until quince is just tender, about 45 minutes.
