  • Put the lemon zest, peppercorns, bay leaves, fennel seeds (optional), thyme sprigs, sugar, and honey in a saucepan. Pour in the water. Set it over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cut the quince into wedges, drop them into the boiling syrup, and cook for 25–45 minutes. When the quince is tender, take the pan off the heat and lift the quince out with a slotted spoon. Set a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat, let it warm up, and lay in the pieces of bacon. Fry the bacon for 4–6 minutes, stirring often, until browned. Cut the pheasant into large pieces, season with salt and pepper, and add it to the skillet with the bacon. Add the quince as well. Sear the pheasant for 3 minutes per side (longer if you like it more well-done). The meat should brown and the quince should caramelize. Divide the meat, bacon, and quince between two warmed plates. Get the skillet good and hot, then pour in 100 ml (about 1/2 cup) of the syrup. Once the liquid has reduced by half, take it off the heat and swirl in the butter until melted; season with salt and pepper if needed. Spoon the sauce over the meat and serve. Enjoy!
