Step 1
Preheat your oven to 150°C/Gas 2. -
Step 2
Use a peeler to pull 3 long strips of zest from the lemon. Add it to a pan with the water, honey and sugar. Warm gently until the sugar has dissolved. -
Step 3
Meanwhile, cut each quince into quarters. Rub the cut surfaces with some lemon juice to stop them browning. Use a dessert spoon to remove any seeds from the core. Do not peel them. -
Step 4
Place the quinces into a snug-fitting roasting tray. Pour over the honey and sugar syrup. Lay some baking parchment over the quinces and then cover the tray tightly with foil. -
Step 5
Transfer to the oven and bake for 3 hours, or until the quinces are tender and deeply coloured. Remove the foil and parchment. Spoon the syrup over the top of the fruit. Turn up the heat to 180°C/Gas 4 and roast uncovered for a final 20 mins to deepen the colour and reduce the syrup. -
Step 6
Serve warm with the sticky syrup from the roasting pan spooned over the top.
