Wash, peel, quarter, core, and slice the quinces into even-thickness slices. Bring the sugar, honey, water, and wine vinegar to a boil, then simmer the quinces for 20 minutes. (Do not boil, or they will disintegrate.) Layer the quinces in jars. Boil the juice until thickened. Let the juice cool, add the cognac, and pour over the quinces. Seal the jars tightly and store in a cool, dark place. Cognac quinces make a delicious side dish for meat or a distinctive dessert (serve the quinces with lightly whipped, delicately sweetened cream).
