Poached Quinces

Serve with whole-grain toast at breakfast or as a topping for ice cream at dessert. Or use the poached fruit as an ingredient in other sweet and savory recipes (as we've done throughout this story).

Bring first 5 ingredients to a boil in a Dutch oven, and cook 2 minutes. Add quinces; reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
