ingredients
- 2 large quinces, quartered
- 1 1⁄2 cups white sugar

- 8 drops lemon juice
directions

SYRUP :
- Carefully peel and core the quinces you have quartered.
- Put the sugar into the water in a heavy based saucepan & boil until sugar dissolves.
- Add quince, stir, cover and return to the boil.
- Simmer for 2-3 hrs or until quince has turned a deep red wine colour.
-
DUMPLINGS (make just prior to serving) :
- Sift the flour and icing sugar together in a bowl a rub in the butter.
- Combine the egg, milk and lemon juice and add this to the flour and butter mix.
- Mix to form a thick batter of dropping consistency.
- Gently remove quince pieces from the syrup and drain using a slotted spoon (this is easiest if the syrup is warm or hot) and set them aside in a bowl.
- Add a little water so there is enough liquid for the dumplings to float.
- Drop balls of batter in the syrup leaving enough room for expansion between each of them. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until fluffy and well risen (twice or more x their original size). Test with a wooden skewer.
- Lift them out and put a few more balls in to cook.
- Serve with the quince and syrup and you can add cream, ice-cream or custard over the top, or all 3 if you like!

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting.
We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :)
The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne.
I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that.
We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of.
We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try
