Quince in cardamom-citrus syrup

60 minutes

Quince in cardamom-citrus syrup is a refined dessert that combines warm Eastern notes of cardamom with the refreshing citrus acidity of lemon and orange. The sweetness of the syrup gently envelops the quince pieces, turning them into soft, aromatic slices with a pronounced fruity flavor. Quince has traditionally been used in Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, often paired with spices that highlight its tartness. This dessert is perfect as a warm finishing touch to a meal but brings true pleasure when chilled, allowing the fruits to fully absorb the rich syrup. Ideal for those who appreciate the harmony of complex flavors and enjoy gastronomic experiments.
