Quince
is a yellow bumpy round shaped fruit that grows on tree and at the moment is ready to pick.
They are a source of dietary fibre, vitamin C and potassium, they are also thought to have anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
They are not typically eaten raw as the skin is tough and not very tasty instead they are usually cooked into foods; you can use the fruit like apples or pears in tarts, tortes, compotes, pies, jams or cheese/jelly. They are excellent on ‘Cheese’ platters with other fruits and dates.
At this time of year they are in season so can be bought from business that supply fresh fruits.
We have had a good crop on our tree and made some Quince with Apple Cheese Jelly Blocks
