Directions

  1. Combine the salt, thyme, ginger and pepper; sprinkle over pork. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan lined with heavy-duty foil. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 30-35 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Uncover; simmer 25-30 minutes longer or until quinces are tender and liquid is thickened. Discard bay leaf.
  3. Let pork stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with compote.
