Ayva tatlısı or Serkevili muraba (Armenian: սերկեւիլի մուրաբա)[1] is a dessert from Turkish and Armenian cuisine that is made with quince. The quince is cooked by boiling in water or in the oven with cloves, sweet syrup and filled with apple or quince meal, raisins and topped with kaymak, matzoon, or ice cream.[2][3] It is often served as halves, with the inside slightly carved out. The dish is eaten warm and cold throughout Armenia and Turkey, particularly during wintertime.[4]
