This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Erin has another mystery ingredient! Well, it's no mystery to you since it's there in the title, but it was a surprise to Heather when they sat down to record. It's quince -- a fruit from the rose family.

Quince can be quite astringent and not good to eat raw, so poaching is a great way to prepare the fruit before you add it to your recipe - in this case, a tart with apples and a delightful frangipane (almond paste) layer!

This tart recipe comes from Samin Nosrat, one of our favourite celebrity chefs. The quince is poached in wine for 2.5 hours. The pie crust is a simple butter pastry dough, rolled and chilled in the pan before you bake. First the frangipane goes down, then the quince and apple slices in a nice pattern. Erin sprinkled hers with a little rose sugar for extra sparkle.

This. Is. Delicious.

If quince sounds like a bit too much work, sub in other fruit, like plums, pears or apricots with the apples. Just don't skip the frangipane!
