Place quince in a large roasting pan. Combine honey, bay leaves and wine in a saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until honey dissolves. Pour wine mixture over quince and top with pork. Roast in oven for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C and cook for a further 30 minutes. Arrange parsnip around pork in pan. Cook for a further 60-70 minutes for medium-well or until pork is cooked to your liking. Remove pork from pan, wrap loosely in foil and set aside in a warm place for 25 minutes to rest.
