You can be very fascinated by quince - both by the fruits and by the trees with their beautiful flowers. Newly picked, the fruits are beautiful, but on our latitudes hard as stone, but they hide in a secret. Only when the quinces are prepared does the unique taste emerge.
Quince has a powerful, sweet-spicy fruit flavor that is completely its own and difficult to describe in words. Quinces must be scented and tasted. They are acidic and have a high vitamin C content. Quinces are very suitable for jelly, jam, etc. due to the natural, high pectin content. Quinces can be used in both the salty and the sweet kitchen.
The health-giving ingredients are a major reason why quince was so popular before modern medicine came on the field. This book contains the story of the exciting quince fruit as well as a variety of recipes.
