Vanilla-Poached Quince - Thanksgiving Dessert

quinceQuince, a firm, chartreuse-skinned fruit that looks like a combination of an apple and a rather knobby pear, is an oft-overlooked fall fruit. Unlike apples and pears, it's too hard and astringent to eat raw, but a little TLC can transform it into a sublime autumn dessert.

Poached quince pairs perfectly with a heady blue cheese, making for a bright, crisp ending to a massive Thanksgiving dinner. Try warm quince with honey as an ice cream topping, or served with a scoop of fresh sweet cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Chocolate and Zucchini has a simple, delightful recipe for vanilla-poached quince, which would make a lovely, unusual addition to a table already loaded with pies.
