Duck confit with quince and red cabbage (Confit de canard au coing)

from French Kitchen: Classic Recipes for Home Cooks by Serge Dansereau

Duck confit was done using a different recipe. see Sous Vide confit duck legs.

Red Cabbage

  • red cabbage
  • salt
  • onion
  • duck fat
  • red wine vinegar
  • red wine (used pinot to match the tasting)
  • red wine
  • dark brown sugar

Stewed Quince

  • quinces
  • cinnamon sticks 
  • caster sugar

Recipe called for peeling and coring the quinces before stewing (which I did). They were rock hard. Subsequent searches suggest baking the quinces first, then peel and core. This would be easier.
