Just had to share. I divided this dough in half and made one traditional loaf which was delicious. Then, inspired by the Harvest Apple Challah, I used the H.A.C. technique for the other half of the dough, but used poached quinces (from the tree outside my kitchen) instead of apples. Quinces can substitute for apples, but must be pre-cooked. They taste like a cross between an apple and a pear, but are a little drier and denser. (I added some of the poaching liquid to the cinnamon and sugar mixture I coated them with.) This challah was fantastic! What a wonderful way to "honor" the quinces! Thank you, PJ and KAF!!
