Quince Fruits In Mid-July

Too early to be ripe but these quinces look very beautiful with a garland of leaves. A car alarm is sounding in the background.

Quince jelly is lovely, and such a pretty colour. As quinces are hard, whrn they get a blush on them and pick easily off the tree, stew them in a pan with water and sugar, then drain through a muslin bag, add two leaves of geletin to every pint of liquid, and pour into hot, steralised jars. Lovely stired into casseroles, stews, even to eat on toast

If anyone might be interested, a search for this with Google should find the page with recipes for quince liquer and there is a link for a translation: - 10 quitten likör Rezept/e -

Thanks for the information. I don't do much cooking but have tried them stewed with sugar, which was quite good, if a little bitter. Some people make liquers and I was surprised to read that cooking for a long time makes them go pink.

in my country, chile, they are named membrillos

That's an interesting name. Perhaps suggestive of something to do with the qualities of the fruit.

In Argentina we make 'dulce de membrillos' with this fruit. The fruit is called Membrillo. The Dulce the memberillo is a tipical dessert of Argentina, and it is eating with fresh cheese. Cut the dulce of Membrillo in squares and equal size of fresh cheese. Enjoy it. Also, the Dulce de memebrillo is easy to make. As easy as 'dulce the batatas' Sweet or yam potetoes. AHM!!!

Thanks. I'd never heard that about Albanian, as far as I can remember. Germanic peoples migrated very widely so I suppose it's not surprising there's a connection there.
