Quince-Cinnamon Compote
Not quite a pear and not really an apple, quince is a pome fruit that, once cooked, tastes like a cross between the two, but quince stays firm and takes on a beautiful red blush color. This vegan and gluten-free recipe gives a simple formula for compote. It can be eaten as a dessert on its own or added to oatmeal or breakfast quinoa. It also complements white meat well.

Cook's Notes:
This recipe is for 1 1/2 pounds clean and diced quinces. Two pounds of whole fruit once cleaned, peeled, and cored, roughly equals this amount.
Do not discard the syrup. Use it in other recipes or add some to cold, sparkling water for a refreshing drink. It is also quite delicious mixed with Prosecco wine.
For a wonderful addition to your apple pie filling, thanks to its beautiful pink color and firmness, slice the fruit instead of dicing it.
