Shana Tova - the Jewish New Year
Cooking the traditional compote of Quince. I hope to bring back the fragrance of my mom's and aunties home on the Eve of Rosh Hashana. This is my homage to them, they were the very best of the Jewish Ashkenazi culinary delights.

4 Pilled and sliced Quince
1 Granny Smith apple
1/4 cup of Sultana raisins

3 cloves
4 sugared ginger cubes
6 cups of water
