Although the syrup is the goal here, it's also a byproduct of making poached quince. After you strain off the syrup, the poached quince are perfect for pies or tarts or just spooning over your morning yogurt or oatmeal.

Note: Quince syrup can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
