5 medium quinces (about 2 1/2 pounds)
1 orange
6 cups water
2 cups sugar
18 allspice berries
12 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
Pinch of salt
1 cup dried cranberries
1 package fresh cranberries, rinsed
2 teaspoons (or more) balsamic vinegar

Remove and discard any white pith from peel. Combine water, sugar, spices and salt in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add quinces. Reduce heat to medium-low.

Quince-and-Cranberry Compote
Ingredients:

6 med Quince
6 cup Water
2 cup Sugar
12 Cloves
18 whl allspice berries
1 lrg Orange peel strip
2 pkt Cranberries
1 Cinnamon stick (3" long)
Cranberry juice, optional
Balsamic vinegar, to taste
Cooking Instructions:
Cut each quince into quarters, then cut quarters into pieces about 1/2-inch thick. Grasp each piece firmly and cut away peel and core with sharp knife. When all slices have been cored and peeled, cut each piece into small chunks. Don't worry about the fruit discoloring. In saucepan, combine water, sugar, spices and orange peel. Bring mixture to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add quince. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook very slowly until fruit has turned a deep pink color, about 2 hours. You don't need to worry about overcooking as the fruit will hold its texture well. If cooked slowly, there should still be quite a bit of liquid in pan when fruit is done. Sort through cranberries, remove those that are not in good shape and rinse the rest. Add cranberries to cooked quince. If mixture seems too dry, add a little more water or cranberry juice. Increase heat a little and cook cranberries until they begin to pop open, 12-to-15 minutes. Use rubber scraper to gently mix them with quince. When done, refrigerate compote to cool, then stir in enough vinegar to balance the sweetness.
