Ingredients needed:

- 4 large quinces (about 1 kg)
- 300 g brown sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 lemon (juice and slices)

A bit of history:

Quince compote is a traditional recipe, cherished by generations. Quinces, with their distinct aroma and velvety texture, have been used over time in various dishes, from desserts to preserves. This compote combines the natural sweetness of the fruit with the aromatic notes of cinnamon and vanilla, creating a comforting culinary experience.

Step by step for a perfect compote:

1. Preparing the quinces:
Start by peeling the quinces and removing the seeds. It is important to choose large, ripe quinces, as they will provide the best flavor. Cut them into cubes or slices, depending on your preference.

2. Boiling the quinces:
Place the peeled quinces in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and let them simmer. This step will help release the aroma and improve the texture of the quinces.

3. Adding the sugar:
After about 15-20 minutes of boiling, add the 300 g of brown sugar. If you prefer a less sweet compote, you can adjust the amount of sugar. The brown sugar will add a caramelized note that will blend perfectly with the fruit's flavor.

4. Enhancing the flavors:
Add the two packets of vanilla sugar, lemon slices, and vanilla essence. The lemon will provide a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, while the vanilla essence will intensify the flavors.

5. Adding the cinnamon:
Introducing a cinnamon stick into the quince mixture will add a warm and comforting aroma. It is important not to boil the stick, as it may make the compote bitter; let it infuse its flavor while the mixture cools.

6. Finalizing the compote:
Once all the ingredients are well combined, let the compote simmer for another 10-15 minutes, until the quinces become tender and the flavors meld harmoniously.

7. Serving the compote:
Allow the compote to cool slightly. You can serve it warm or cold, depending on your preference.

8. Cocoa biscuits:
Place a few cocoa biscuits with cinnamon alongside the compote. They will add a crunchy texture and an extra cocoa flavor, perfect for completing this delicious breakfast.

Serving suggestions:
For an even more enjoyable culinary experience, you can add a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top of the compote or serve it with vanilla ice cream. The warm aroma of quinces will blend splendidly with the creamy texture of the yogurt.

Nutritional benefits:
Quinces are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making them an excellent choice for a healthy breakfast. Brown sugar and cocoa biscuits add a touch of energy, perfect for starting the day.
