As for the quince, I think the color depends a lot on the variety. There are many varieties of quince - some take on more color than others. It was still delicious, right?Erika Kerekeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634307142866395851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957782103763272580.post-33973489044958243122014-01-14T14:10:37.378-08:002014-01-14T14:10:37.378-08:00I made this stew last night.... persian people are...I made this stew last night.... persian people are telling me I am a persian professional cook ;) and I have to congratulate you for the awesome recipe!

I love quince too. My Nona (grandmother)from Turkey made something called Halva de Membrillo. It is a quince paste, quince cooked down with sugar, spread in a baking dish and then later sliced in squares. Quince are usually available at all the kosher Persian markets in the Pico-Robertson area.

Sometimes I find it difficult to convert ethnic recipes into more user-friendly (aka lazy) method.
