One or two make a nice addition to apple pie or apple crumble. The jelly is worth it if you have enough, but most jams and jellies are a lot of bother unless you've got enough to make about 6lbs. Usual method applies - extract juice (by boiling then squashing, a fruit press is useful), add 1lb sugar to each pint of juice, boil till small drop cooled on a saucer wrinkles when you push it with your finger. Worth straining the juice if you want jewel-like clarity. It's one of those jellies which tastes really good with fatty meats or with poultry. I suppose you could make quince paste with them too - very intense taste, very sweet, cut into small squares for nibbles. Portuguese origin - portuguese for quince is marmelo, hence marmalade. 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 -- Don't forgive people because you're weak, forgive them because you're strong enough to know that people make mistakes. http://ariesval.wordpress.com/ |

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.
