Description
The quince (Cydonia oblonga) is an ancient fruit belonging to the rose family. It originally comes from Southwest Asia, but is now found worldwide in temperate gardens. The quince tree is small, its spring pink or white flowers are fragrant, and its fruit is yellow, hard, and tart.
It is rarely consumed raw due to its hardness and tart taste, but with heat treatment, it becomes a sweet, aromatic fruit.
Suggested uses:
- Quince cheese (quince paste/membrillo) – The most popular preparation method, where quince is cooked with sugar and spices to a thick jam-like consistency, then poured into molds and left to solidify.
- Jam and compote – Excellent with pancakes, cakes, or alongside meats.
- Fruit juice or syrup – Can be the base for refreshing drinks and cocktails.
- As a side dish with roasts – Particularly well suited for duck and pork.
- In cakes and pies – As a substitute for apples or combined with other fruits.
- Pálinka or liqueur – A fragrant, aromatic drink can be made from it.
