Poached Quince Dessert

"Tasty quince dessert (slatko od dunja) made by poaching quinces until perfect reduction and softness of fruit are achieved. The resulting dessert (a condiment too!) is best described as quinces in simple syrup. Similar to Turkish ayva tatlisi, and Italian frutta sciroppata, this dessert sauce is great by itself or as a topping. Original name for this type of dessert is slatko, meaning sweet. ‘Slatko’ is an adjective except in this case when it transforms into a noun. Slatko od jagoda translates to ‘the strawberry sweet;’ slatko od dunja, ‘the quince sweet.’ "
