Quince Soda Syrup Recipes

QUINCE-GINGER COMPOTE

Steps:

• Bring wine, water, sugar, and ginger to a simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add quinces. (Add more water if needed to cover fruit.) Reduce heat, and simmer gently until quinces are tender, 25 to 45 minutes depending on ripeness of fruit.
• Transfer quinces to a bowl using a slotted spoon. Bring liquid in saucepan to a simmer, and cook until slightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove, and discard ginger. Stir in lemon juice. Pour syrup over quinces. Let stand until cool. Refrigerate if desired.

QUINCE SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring quinces, sugar, and 4 cups water to a boil in a medium stockpot. Reduce heat. Place a lid from a slightly smaller pot over fruit to keep submerged, and simmer until liquid is pale pink and has been reduced to a thin syrup, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Strain; reserve cooked quinces for stuffing. Stir in lemon juice.

SPICED QUINCE IN SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. add quinces and sugar, and stir to coat. Stir in remaining ingredients, and cover with parchment cut to fit pan. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Spoon quinces and syrup into bowls.

QUINCE IN SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the quinces with water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook, uncovered, until barely tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the quinces and, when cool enough to handle, peel, halve, core, and cut into slices.
• In a saucepan large enough to accommodate the sliced quinces, combine the sugar, 1 cup water, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the quinces and additional water if needed to cover. Simmer for 5 minutes. Then, over the course of 12 hours, bring the quince slices to a boil in the syrup 3 times. boiling them for 5 minutes each time. This helps to bring up the rich red color of the fruit and allows them to absorb the syrup over time.
• Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate. Serve chilled.

QUINCE SODA SYRUP

• Place quince, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a medium saucepan along with 4 cups water. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat; let simmer for 2 hours.
• Add more sugar, if desired, and let cool. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill overnight.
• Strain and discard solids. Transfer syrup to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until ready to use, up to 2 weeks. To serve, fill a 16-ounce glass with ice cubes and add 1 1/2 ounces syrup; top with seltzer and stir to combine.
