Autumn porridge with poached quince

Porridge with poached quince is a healthy and filling breakfast. Gently stewed spiced quince gives porridge a beautiful sweetness and an autumn aroma.

SPICED QUINCE:
3 large quinces / about 1.2 kg
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
1 star anise
a quill of cinnamon
2 cloves
1 whole all spice
a large strip of lemon peel
½ cup brown sugar (my version isn’t overly sweet, so add more sugar if you like)
½ lemon

PORRIDGE:
100 g jumbo rolled oats (gluten-free for gluten-free version)
any thin plant milk or full fat coconut milk thinned with 50% water
a handful of any nuts, chopped
seeds from ½ pomegranate (optional)
maple or agave syrup, to serve (optional)
