When I saw quince in the markets here, I picked one out of curiosity. Came home and cut them into wedges and served post-dinner. Both of us stopped with just one bite. It had a bitter aftertaste and was somewhat tarty. I tried having another piece and still couldn't get to like it. So again to make it edible, I went on the coulis way and baked this quince bread.

Pat dried the wedges and added them into the saucepan along with a pinch of cinnamon powder. The entire house was filled with an aroma that was just like apple cinnamon! So I knew it will be all over once done and served. I had them on my morning slice of bread instead of peanut butter, I also added them to oatmeal.. and then we were off on a short vacation while it stayed in the fridge.

I baked this bread after we returned from Dubai just to use up the coulis as I didn't know how long it could stay. It did not smell rancid or anything but didn't want it to; so went ahead and made this bread. I reduced the sugar considering the coulis is anyways loaded with sweetness and I wanted this like bread for chai time. Served for evening tea time with some honey by the side... F had one slice with honey and then went on to spread some cream cheese on the second slice.. and there was no stopping. He preferred the cream cheese but I liked the honey better. So you can try both or something different. Best served for a hot cuppa and some chit-chat.
