Melt 3.2 oz Clarified butter in a frying pan on high heat. When really hot, add 6 tablespoons caster sugar.
Stage 4 - 1 min.
Leave the sugar to caramelize slightly, then add the quince slices.
Stage 5 - 6 min.

Stage 6 - 1 min.
Then add 2 lb + 10.3 oz Jura Macvin and turn the heat down to its lowest.
