Quince Recpies

[George Gray]

This year after 10 years of nothing our quince bush produced a reasonable number of quinces.
Does anybody have any recipes for them?

[Flummery]

Spiced quinces

1.25 pints white malt, white wine or cider vinegar
3" length of cinnamon stick
about 10 cloves
1 teaspoon allspice berries
3 lb peeled, quartered & cored quinces
1.75 lb sugar

Put the vinegar and spices in a pan and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer 5 mins.
Strain. Place the quince quarters in the hot vinegar and simmer gently until just tender. Lift the fruit out with a slotted spoon. Pack them into hot strilized jars. Ass the sugar to the vinegar, stir over a low heat till dissolved then boil steadily to a thick syrupy consistency. Pour over the fruit, making sure it's all covered. Seal while still hot.

From Margeurite Patten's jam, jellies etc. book

I also have jam, jelly, apple & Quince cake recipes. Depends what you're after.

Quince Recipies

Thanks for everyones ideas but I didn't have enough quince to make it worthwhile making a preserve out of them. However I did come across a recipe for a lamb and quince tagine and it was excellent. The quince gave it a lemony but sweet sort of flavour.
