I didn't realize the ornamentals had useful fruit. How big is the
fruit?


I got some from a friend once; I was thinking she had only one bush in her
yard. The fruit is knotty and gnarled, golf ball size or smaller. I cooked
them down whole, then smashed them, then strained them. The jelly/jam I
made from it was quite nice ... mild tasting. I did some batches with just
the ornamental quince and some with pineapple added ... seems like I also
did a quince-pear batch.
