For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
The baking time may vary depending on the variety and ripeness of the quince. Check for tenderness with a fork.
A splash of lemon juice can brighten the flavor profile.
Consider adding a star anise to the roasting pan for an extra layer of spice.
The baked quince can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
