Slow Cooker Celebration Quince Syrup

Slow Cooker Celebration Quince Syrup

One of my bucket list items was to eat at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, and wonderfully I got to tick it off with my mum. On arrival for dinner, they served us two glasses of sparkling wine with a dash of the most beautifully delicate quince syrup – I’ve never forgotten it. Sweet, floral, delicious ... neither the quince nor the wine overpowered the other, but melted together beautifully. So of course, on returning to Australia, I had to replicate it. And you know what? It needs a very long, very slow cook ... perfect for the slow cooker! It really is dead easy – you don’t even need to peel or core the quince, just chop up the whole lot. It makes a litre and you only use a tablespoon per glass, so it’ll last you ages, but that’s perfect as quinces are only in season for a short stint during autumn. That’s the time to make this recipe and then either refrigerate or freeze it to last you throughout the year. Pull it out whenever a celebration is in order and it’ll feel extra special! And just between you and me, this syrup can really transform an otherwise lacklustre (aka cheap) bottle of bubbles.
