My granddaughter loves to try new foods, so I wasn't surprised when she and my daughter came home with quince. I've never eaten quince before and had no idea what to expect.
My daughter used a baked apple recipe to prepare them. They required quite a bit more baking than apples, but the results were well worth the wait. The baked quince were reminiscent of baked apples, but the fruit was denser and tarter. My granddaughter liked it as well, so I'm sure this isn't the last time that quince makes an appearance at our table.
I've never had a quince. It would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteIn England people make quince jelly and store it in jam jars for spreading on toast for breakfast. Some enjoy it with icecream or thick whipped cream sometimes with scones or sandwiched inbetween a sponge cake .. it's also very tempting on porridge or spooned into semolina pudding! Hope you enjoy your quinces for a long while to come!
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity are the blossoms on the quince bush a dark burnt orange/red?
Happy New Year to you!
Mmmmmm, quince! And a magical-looking fruit, too, wouldn't you agree?! When I was just a smitch, my Aunt Myrtle introduced me to this lovely. We would name a pet yellow parakeet "Prince Quince." He was sort of magical, too.

ReplyDeleteAt the first sight, the appearance of quince fruit looks like a pomegranate. Never really heard of it before anywhere, but after going through your post, it looks like its a tasty fruit.
