Quince.... :)

I bought this beautiful fruit last week at the farmer's market.

I had no idea what it was.

Quince. They're kinda like an apple, but not edible raw.

I couldn't find very many recipes for quince, but I

needed to cook 'em.

 

 

I found this super easy recipe from Ina for apple tart.

It uses puff pastry which is super fabulous when you want to make

a dessert in no time:)

 

Here we go:

1-sheet of thawed puff pastry

2- peeled and cored quince

2- peeled and cored apples (I used granny smith)

Sugar

Cinnamon

Butter

Apricot Jam

Rum

 

Roll out your thawed pastry into a square.

I rolled up my edges to make it more "rustic".

Just kidding, my square was all wonky so I had to improvise:)

Slice your peeled and cored quince and apples.

 

 

Alternate laying your slices of quince and apples. Ya know, for pretty factor:)

Ina's recipe calls for just "sprinkling" sugar on top.

Um no ma'am!! I pulled out my grinder of sugar and cinnamon!!

I'll just say I wasn't shy about coating my quince and apples

with this deliciousness!!

 

 

Dot with butter. A whole lot of butter. Because everyone knows

more butter is better:)

 

 

Stick that rustic square of loveliness in a 400' oven for about 25 minutes.

 

 

While your tart is cooling, make your glaze.

I did like 1/2 cup apricot jam and a couple Tbsp. of rum.

Just heat it through:)

 

Then brush that liquid gold onto your tart.

 

Ooooh look at that beauty!!

 



 

Cut yourself a piece and get to tastin...

 

 

I dare you to eat just one piece.

 

 

No really, I double dog dare you!!
