I suppose you could make quince paste with them too - very intense

I always leave them, because they look so attractive, and I'd only be
able to pick about a pound, if that.

How interesting, thank you Kay

I could produce easily over 20 pounds! But cheese (or paste) made
with those isn't all that sweet, because they are VERY acid; it IS
very sweet made with true quinces.

I see, and worth knowing, thanks again Nick
