Easy Quince Compote Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds quinces - peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 cups hard apple cider
• 0.5 cup sugar, or more to taste
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 0.5 teaspoon orange flower water
• 0.5 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
• 3 tablespoons creme fraiche

Instructions

1. Combine quince, hard cider, and sugar in a pressure cooker. Seal the cooker and follow manufacturer's instructions to place the pressure regulator. Heat until a steady stream of steam escapes and whistles (about 10 minutes). Adjust heat to gently rock the regulator; cook until quince is tender (15-20 minutes). Allow pressure to release naturally (5-10 minutes) as per the manufacturer's instructions. Then, unlock and remove the lid.
2. Move the cooked quince and liquid to a serving bowl. Stir in lemon juice, orange flower water, and orange zest for a burst of flavor.
3. In a chilled bowl (glass or metal), whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add vanilla sugar, continuing to whip until soft peaks form. Gently fold in crème fraîche. Serve the quince compote topped with this luxurious whipped cream-crème fraîche mixture.
