Quince-Ginger Compote image

Use this tart compote to make our Pumpkin Layer Cake. Overly ripe quinces may not retain their shape as they simmer, so it's best to use ones that have just ripened.

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes about 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups off-dry white wine, such as Riesling
1 1/2 cups water, plus more if needed
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 thin slices peeled fresh ginger (from one 2-inch piece)
3 pounds just ripened quince (about 4), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

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.

I followed the recipe exactly and my compote turned out really watery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This compote is a bit tart for my taste, but I added a little bit of honey and it was perfect.
