Quince is a fragrant, firm fruit with a tart flavor and dense texture. Often cooked, it becomes sweet and aromatic, used for jams, jellies, desserts, and savory dishes in many cuisines.
Quinces are firm, yellow fruits with a floral aroma and tangy, astringent flesh when raw. They are rarely eaten fresh; instead they are simmered, baked, or roasted with sugar to make quince paste, jams, sauces, and desserts. Store quinces in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and handle gently to avoid bruising. Ideal for homemade preserves and pairing with cheeses or pork.
