Tis the Season

With the chill in the air and an actual frost last night, the aroma of poached fruit is needed to help warm the house and the soul. The aroma of poached quince is a marriage of apples and pears with tropical undertones, enhanced by an aroma amplifier. The one caveat is that in the time it takes to cook quince, the finished fruit has given its aroma to the kitchen, leaving the fruit itself lacking. We have sought to help the aroma permeate the fruit by cooking it with aromatics that remind us of the fruit. The plan is to supplement the aroma of the quince to keep it intact for the eating process.
