Instructions: Cut off top quarter from quinces. Peel skin about halfway down from top.

Remove seeds and cores, making about 1 1/2 inch cavity in centers.

Mix together almonds, raisins and marmalade. Place some of mixture in hollowed-out center of each quince.

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, orange juice, grated rind and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for three to four minutes.

Place quinces in a shallow baking dish and spoon syrup over them. Cover and bake at 400 degrees for one hour, basting occasionally with the syrup from the pan.

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream if desired.
