I completed high school in France and moved to the US in 1979. I decided to move to Mexico in 2023 after realizing that Mexico reminded me of Lebanon and Mazatlan (where I live) of Beirut. Taste of Beirut started as a blog in 2009 and its main purpose was to share my beloved Lebanese heritage with the world through recipes, anecdotes, and cultural tidbits. Now I am interested in promoting Mexican and Lebanese food and exploring the two cuisines and what they can offer each other. I am also interested in Mexican Lebanese entrepreneurs and the history of the Lebanese and other Arabs in Mexico.","sameAs":["https://tasteofbeirut.com","https://www.facebook.com/joumanaaccadtob","https://instagram.com/taste.of.beirut","https://www.pinterest.com/tasteofbeirut/","https://www.youtube.com/user/tasteofbeirut"]}]}</script>

Every day a new package lands at the door of my parents’ home in Beirut. So anticipating eating these goodies throughout the day and night, I decided to make a simple, pared down dessert for Christmas dinner.</strong></span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Got the idea for combining apples and quince from Claudia Roden’s book of </strong></span><em><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Middle Eastern Food. </strong></span></em></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">METHOD:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Place the lemon juice, sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed pan. Bring to a simmer.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Peel and core the quince and place the peels and seeds and whatever bits you collect in the sugar mixture.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Simmer for about 30 minutes or until the syrup is reduced and slightly thickened. The kitchen will be heady with the perfume of quince. Strain the syrup.</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Cut the quince in dice or slices and place in the syrup, back on a medium to slow heat, for about 20 minutes or until the fruit slices are well cooked and tender. Turn the heat off and cool. The syrup will have taken on an orange-pink hue.</span></strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color: #008000;">For the apple compote:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">INGREDIENTS:</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #808000;">3 or 4 green apples, small to medium in size</span></strong></li>

<p><strong>METHOD:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Place the sugar, water and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed pan (separate from the quince pan)</strong></li>
<li><strong>Bring the syrup to a slow simmer; peel the apples, cut in half and core. Place in the syrup.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Simmer for 15 minutes until the apples are tender. Add the flavoring at the end of cooking, if using the water and at the beginning if using the vanilla stick.</strong></li>
</ol>

<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">ASSEMBLY:</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">Place an apple half with a bit of syrup in a small serving bowl; place a few pieces of jellied quince on top. Squirt a bit of whipped cream and drop a tablespoon of chopped pistachios. </span></strong></p>

<p>I was looking for your gingerbread house and was disappointed I didn’t see one..however, this dessert looks amazing and so elegant! Love quince, so I’d love to try this! Very well done! Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year, and thanks for the sweet comment on my blog 🙂</p>

<p class="left">Hi! Marhaba! ça va?</p>
<p class="left">I am Joumana Accad and was born and raised in Beirut. I completed high school in France and moved to the US in 1979. I am the mother of two grown children and a former school teacher, pastry chef, caterer and translator. Taste of Beirut started as a blog in 2009 and its main purpose was to share my beloved Lebanese heritage with the world through recipes, anecdotes, and cultural tidbits.</p>
