4. A QUOTE FROM ELISE BAUER

Have you ever eaten a quince? The first time I had
quince jelly I couldn’t believe how such a peculiar
looking hard yellow fruit (like a slightly squashed pear)
could yield such a fragrant, delicate, pink jelly. Quinces
cannot be eaten raw, they are too tart. But the tannins
that cause the tartness in the raw fruit mellow when
cooked (and turn the fruit pink). Cooked, a quince
transforms into something lovely.

Quinces used to be more popular than they are today;
you often can find an odd small quince tree growing in
the yard of an old house. But people don’t can as much
as they used to and unless you’ve actually had
something made with quince, you don’t know what
you’re missing.
