Baked Quinces

Take whole ripe quinces and bake with the skins on. When done thoroughly, remove the skins. Sift over plenty of sugar, and a lump of butter on each. Serve hot; or omit the butter and use cream instead, in which case serve either hot or cold. Baking entirely removes the strong taste of the quince, leaving only a delicate flavor in its place. An appetizing dish.
