Ingredients

6 medium quinces
6 cups water
2 cups sugar
12 each cloves
18 Whole allspice berries
1 large orange zest
2 packages cranberries
1 each cinnamon stick
1 x cranberry juice optional
1 x balsamic vinegar to taste

Directions

CUT EACH QUINCE INTO QUARTERS, then cut quarters into pieces about 1/2-inch thick.

Grasp each piece firmly and cut away peel and core with sharp knife.

When all slices have been cored and peeled, cut each piece into small chunks.

Don't worry about the fruit discoloring. In saucepan, combine water, sugar, spices and orange peel.

Bring mixture to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.

Add quince. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook very slowly until fruit has turned a deep pink color, about 2 hours.

You don't need to worry about overcooking as the fruit will hold its texture well.

If cooked slowly, there should still be quite a bit of liquid in pan when fruit is done.

Sort through cranberries, remove those that are not in good shape and rinse the rest.

Add cranberries to cooked quince. If mixture seems too dry, add a little more water or cranberry juice.

Increase heat a little and cook cranberries until they begin to pop open, 12-to-15 minutes.

Use rubber scraper to gently mix them with quince.

When done, refrigerate compote to cool, then stir in enough vinegar to balance the sweetness.

An Unusual Holiday Means An Unsual History

by Josh Khan

I have come to the conclusion that my first year in college was definitely a weird one. There were new experiences and events I was a part of; some I liked and others that have easily been forgotten. ...

Apple French Toast Strata

This was very good, and easy to make. Everyone at work loved it when I brought it to our potluck. I would suggest soaking the top layer of bread cubes in the egg mixture before putting them on top of the other layers, otherwise it's hard to get all of them covered. I might cut down a little on the cream cheese, too. It was a little rich. Otherwise, it was wonderful!
