Quinces are one of those fruits that will either make you wait like crazy for their season, or you will almost hate them. I belong to the first category because I love them. This year the first recipe dedicated to this unique fruit is our favorite rice pudding with poached quinces.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECIPE
The recipe for our favorite rice pudding with poached quinces can be said to be quite difficult. And this is because, at least it has happened to me many times, there is a risk that the rice milk will seize and burn. For this, the rice pudding should be cooked on medium heat and in a heavy-bottomed pan. If you take care of this stage then things are easy.
The quinces will be poached in red wine and warm spices, such as cinnamon and cloves. It’s an easy process that will take about half an hour. After the quinces are cooked, we will remove them from the pot and leave the liquid elements in it. We will continue boiling until we get a thick sauce.
INGREDIENTS OF THE RECIPE
So if you want to enjoy this warm and special rice pudding, all you have to do is get the following:
- milk,
- Carolina rice,
- sugar, corn flour
- quince,
- cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves
- oranges and lemons
- dried grapes
- Red wine
I chose to serve my fall dessert with cinnamon and walnuts. So if you find an interesting proposal, don’t forget to add them to your list.
