Quince compote
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The fruit itself is quite tart, so making compote from it alone won't work. Whenever I cook it, I always add other berries or fruits. This time I had strawberries and cherries. Apples, cherries, raspberries, plums, blackberries, and others are also excellent choices. The resulting drink will have a delicate, pleasant taste with a lovely aroma. Serve chilled.
