For the first time in living memory the quince tree is laden with fruit.
I picked one today, cut it into slices and tried to eat a bit. Its a bit mouth puckering - like a lemon and very hard. I know you can make jam with them but I wondered what else - and it has to be easy.
Youtube came up with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5tUUtsK6Ks If, like me, you enjoy watching local people cooking in traditional ways, without gadgets, have a look.
The channel is Samovar Tea.
Following their example, I washed and chopped the quince, poured some water on brought it to the boil. It softened very quickly and the peel disintegrated - needed sugar but it is delicious. Tomorrow, I may pick some more.
If anyone has any simple recipes for Quince, please post them. I may never have this many quince again.
