Just a thought, but I can almost imagine this 'dish' having had its place in the medieval kitchen.
Fry thin slivers of Quince in oil and butter until softened, sprinkle with a little sugar and ground cinnamon, and serve with either cream/yoghurt/fromage frais etc.
It may not be the most exciting thing in the world, but it uses up a few more of those wretched Quinces, and it tastes pretty good too. Enough reason to try it methinks.
I'll have a go at anything to save all those beautiful fruits from going on the compost.

Never had quince, but that looks quite tasty!
I did not see quince here since my childhood .We had a tree in my parents yard but never ate it.
Looks good! The tree I planted at mums has some disease of some sort so the fruits are tiny and not formed this year, shame because their flavour is lovely.
Apparently, if you replace one apple with a quince it really adds something to an apple pie or crumble, tastes great with sheep's milk cheese and, you can glaze a roast chicken for the last 15 minutes of cooking with quince jelly.
Thanks for your coment over at mine Cro …… it's kind of you to comment on my sometimes girlie posts, although they are not always fashion-based !!!! XXXX
You have such impeccable taste; it's difficult not to comment!
Sounds luscious! I would love to have a quince tree and not have to stretch the quinces I have with apples!!
You post title is politically incorrect . One must be all inclusive and not discriminate against other tree owners. I am reporting you to the thought police !
If I changed it to 'Mostly for Quince Tree owners', would you forgive me?
Quince trees always SOUND like a good idea; but once you have them and have to throw away all the fruit every year, they lose their appeal.
OK..just this once. Did you know the Nordic goddess Freya had to shag four dwarves to get an important piece of jewellery. I have just read this on a poetry blog and quite frankly am in shock. It is Friday night here . I have just had the one plus maybe another one so I must get back to my poetry now
Toodle pip and Cheery Bye
I shan't be having my one plus several others for quite a while yet. I've just come out of the pool, and am dripping onto the keyboard.
I could write a poem with this image stuck fast in my mind.
Not everyone shares my sense of humour...so I wont without your permission:)
Be my guest!
It works well with apples too Cro. I have never tasted quince and wish I was near enough to beg, borrow or steal and basket full from you so that I could try them.
that sounds delicious, I now have 2 good ideas from you and typically the quince do not deem to be thriving this year. Thanks though

I just looked up quince in my mother's old copy of Mrs Beeton's Family Cookery and Mrs Beeton gives us quince marmalade and, for something completely different, quince blancmange. I am sure you wont be bothering with either.
Coming ratrher belatedly to the party, I found that baking quinces sprinkled with a bit of sugar gave a delicious syrup. I then fed the quinces to the local donkey (he nearly bit my hand off in eagerness) and the resulting syrup was delicious in a kir. Why waste time eating fruit when you can add it to alcohol in some form?!
