Japanese quince I think

I have the pink one, and have never found a use for the fruit.

Certainly looks like that. No personal experience but I've known of
people making jelly and wine from the fruits of the yellow variety,
which are edible and quite high in pectin and in vitamin C. Can't
speak for the red ones, though.

Orange peel has a high pectin/vitamin C content, and tastes better than
a quince :-)
