I have gotten some quince.  These are the edible raw ones and I do not think I like them as well as the old gotta cook ‘em type.  But this is what I am doing and it comes out well. I am baking them in honey and wine.. Okay some of the wine is mead I made in 2008.. but whatevah.

So peel, half and core.

Melt Butter in  baking dish. 

Put in as many quince halves as will fit.

Pour a good line of honey down them and add the wine. 

Bake and baste till they seem nice. 

I froze some and mushed them in the food processor with sugar and half and half and made a nice ice cream. 

And I took some baked as above to a party with some roasted pear ice cream which was very incredible.  I roasted the pears the same way I did the quinces but no wine.

And if there is wine goo in the pan when the quinces are done it makes a really good jelly thing.

The quinces would probably go well with soft goat cheese too with a little chestnut honey drizzled over.
