Quince Tarte Tatin
Quince Tarte Tatin is my seasonal take on the classic French tarte tatin dessert. A tarte tatin is an upside-down fruit tart. It is usually made with apples, but I use quince fruit in this version. The quince is caramelized with sugar and butter. While cooking, the pastry pie crust is placed on top and the tart is baked in the oven. Once the tarte tatin comes out of the oven, it is inverted and served quince up on a plate.
Start by poaching quince chunks in wine and water with spices. If quince isn’t in season you could make this tart with pears or even plums or peaches in summer. I use store bought pastry for the lid (which becomes the base). I make a syrup from the cooking liquid which I pour over the tarte when serving. Yum!
