Peel the quinces, cut them in half, and carefully remove the cores. You can use a melon baller or a small spoon. As you prepare them, drop the quince halves into the boiling syrup to prevent browning.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer the quinces for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. The quince should turn a beautiful pink color.

Pour a few tablespoons of the poaching syrup over the stuffed quinces. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and fragrant.
