Poached Quince Dessert

"Tasty quince dessert made by poaching quinces until perfect reduction and softness of fruit are achieved. The resulting dessert (a condiment too!) is best described as quinces in simple syrup. Similar to Turkish ayva tatlisi, and Italian frutta sciroppata, this dessert sauce is great by itself or as a topping. There was a time when upon opening a wardrobe or glancing at a window seal, your eyes were met with an object so yellow and aromatic it pulled you straight into now. The past was spent, and future delegated to some other latitude while you stood face to face with the misshapen apple, the yellowest of pears, mysterious and sweet smelling quince. "
