I was brought up on Quince Jelly, but can't find any enthusiasm amongst family members, which takes the fun out of the preparation.<br /><br />By the way, I was at school with an Armenian guy; his family name was 'Armenian'.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-2027398403667036382010-09-26T04:06:45.551+01:002010-09-26T04:06:45.551+01:00Here is an interview I did plus a review of a quin...Here is an interview I did plus a review of a quince cookbook you might be interested in. <a href="http://bookbirddog.blogspot.com/2010/02/author-interviewcookbook-giveaway.html" rel="nofollow">Simply Quince: Interview with quince cookbook author Barbara Ghazarian</a>Harveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490108303790217277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90587623479224743782010-09-25T22:23:19.652+01:002010-09-25T22:23:19.652+01:00How funny - tonight, a man I have never met before...How funny - tonight, a man I have never met before has given me a big bag of quince. For me, they typify the confectioner's fruit of bygone days, before citrus was imported or grown for the lucky few in orangeries. They are a taste of the past, from history.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-21087151693815168822010-09-25T21:51:03.176+01:002010-09-25T21:51:03.176+01:00I have to admit that I have never eaten quince but...I have to admit that I have never eaten quince but what a pretty tree. oh and thank you so much cro for following my blog and always leaving such lovely comments,<br />sue :)suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733389051513022820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-22724917566038276152010-09-25T16:29:00.176+01:002010-09-25T16:29:00.176+01:00I don't think I've ever tasted quince but ...I don't think I've ever tasted quince but they sound good roasted the way you said.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-68246977646590032972010-09-25T13:47:17.393+01:002010-09-25T13:47:17.393+01:00Thanks Amy, I'll have a look.Thanks Amy, I'll have a look.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-71294937996239979932010-09-25T12:41:36.490+01:002010-09-25T12:41:36.490+01:00I found a list of recipes:

I love quince, but in smaller measures than you are producing right now. It's a pain, but if you can be bothered, they make a great sauce, or - if you keep on boiling - a great membrillo.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.com
