I've always wanted to try them! I love all the different ways you've used quinces.eatme_delicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-13149213794706110762010-09-06T02:19:45.980+10:002010-09-06T02:19:45.980+10:00great post Johanna.

When I originally got them, I tried to eat it like an apple. It kind of looked like an apple and pear but it wasn't edible! Now I know what to do next time I get some!janethttp://tastespace.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-28379366613168329732010-08-29T09:45:52.863+10:002010-08-29T09:45:52.863+10:00Thanks Choclette - I hope you find a quince source...Thanks Choclette - I hope you find a quince source - the colour of them is reason enough - and I confess there is less motivation to make quince jelly when I can get some from my mumlp<br /><br />Thanks Sarah - I don't have quince that much but this is my write up of experiments over two seasons of them<br /><br />Thanks Tahn - you are so lucky - while quinces probably are not much good in a raw diet, they are delicious with a wonderful flavour - or I have even heard about people having them in a bowl in the house as a room freshner - or send some my way <br /><br />Thanks Hannah - I loved the quince paste in cake - this one is quite rich so is good in small slices <br /><br />Thanks Deb - I left my quinces too long this year and they were a bit brown inside when I came to cooking with them so I had to chop out the yucky bits<br /><br />Thanks Katie - we really need a movement to plant more quince trees in local gardens :-)Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-77231516009838160152010-08-29T07:33:19.879+10:002010-08-29T07:33:19.879+10:00very beautiful !very beautiful !valerie from familybloghttp://familyblog.over-blog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-23589869609842703562010-08-28T15:42:49.001+10:002010-08-28T15:42:49.001+10:00All your creations look wonderful.

To be honest I had no idea what the fruit even WAS! (I did find out eventually last year)<br />Now I know what I can do with it this year.<br /><br />Thanks.Tahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07827351141693150739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-54329774587527658442010-08-28T03:25:18.965+10:002010-08-28T03:25:18.965+10:00Now that's a lotta' quinces ;)Now that's a lotta' quinces ;)Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04757033974893707436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-2009505144994749992010-08-28T01:29:45.581+10:002010-08-28T01:29:45.581+10:00Oh oh oh, I want to try all of these - what fabulo...Oh oh oh, I want to try all of these - what fabulous cakes and puddings. I think quinces are great fruit and would love to get my hands on them. They are really hard to get hold of here unless you know someone who grows them - I don't. Johanna, do turn into your mother and make quince jelly - I found it so satisfying having such lovely jars of beautifully coloured quince jelly when I made it a couple of years ago. I've never used them in cakes before but have in apple crumbles. Also added them to apple chutney where again they gave an additional golden ruby glow.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.com
