Method:

Place the quince quarters in a single layer in a baking tray and sprinkle with the castor sugar. Add the vanilla, cloves, orange peel and cinnamon stick to the tray, cover tightly with foil and cook at 100*C for 10 – 12 hours.

 

Remove the quinces from their syrup and dice into 1 cm dice.

Mix together the ricotta, flour, yeast, salt and warm water to form a wet dough.

Cover and allow to prove for 1 hour.

Heat the vegetable oil to 180*C and fry teaspoon amounts of the dough until golden and crispy.

Coat with Hum Honey, cover and set aside.

Place the yolks, orange juice, zest and sugar in a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat until thick. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.

Stir in the orange blossom water and cool.

Fold through the mascarpone and transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

Arrange the loukoumades and quince dice on four plates and drizzle with Hum Honey.

Pipe small amounts of the curd cream in any gaps and decorate with flower petals.
