Ingredients




4 cups peeled, cored and sliced quince (4 quince)
cup firmly packed brown sugar
cup stone-ground or all-purpose flour
cup oatmeal, uncooked
teaspoon ground cinnamon
teaspoon ground nutmeg
cup melted margarine (½ stick, see note)

Preparation

1 Lesley Morris discovered that she could substitute quince for apples in this recipe. "The flavor is a cross between an apple and a peach, and it's quite wonderful," she said. 2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 3 Place the quince in a buttered 8- or 9 inch square baking dish. Blend brown sugar, flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, nutmeg and margarine together until crumbly. 4 Sprinkle on top of the quince. Bake for 30 minutes. Or, in a microwave-safe dish, microwave 20 minutes on high, turning once during baking. 5 Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. 6 Frozen variation: Extra quince can be peeled, sliced and frozen in quart containers. For a quick dessert, empty a quart of partially thawed quince into a baking dish, sprinkle with topping and bake. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time. 7 Note: Use only real margarine (80 percent fat) or butter. Lower-fat spread products may not produce best results. - 8 Ground Flour" by Arlene Kovash and Marcie Anderson
