They're a lot of hard work. Just a pain to cut up. But I suspect you have the patience.
ETA I just had a look at that. Our quinces are a very different variety.
What are yours like? These are indeed very difficult to cut up.
You said that they were like pears, and when I looked at the picture I found you meant it. Ours are roughly the size and shape of a large coconut and bumpier. It'll just be a different variety, they go the same colour, cooked.
Your thread has made me come over all nostalgic. Nanna's quince jelly tasted great, but it was beeautiful to look at. Sigh.
We had a quince in our back yard.Mother put bits in other fruit when she canned.If I recall.
Quince and ginger is a great combination, but I think you are saying she added small amounts to apple, pear, plum, etc?
For the colour or the pectin, do you think?
