| − | A '''Quince''' is a pear-shaped golden-yellow [[Cookbook:Fruit|fruit]] that is very loosely related to the [[Cookbook:Pear |pear]] and the [[Cookbook:Apple|apple]]. It was a common element in medieval cooking, but is rarely used now. Its flavor is similar to that of the pear and apple, but much stronger and more sour. Because of its firm texture and sourness (even when ripe), it's not often eaten raw.

| − | Quinces can be made into [[Cookbook:Jam|jams]], [[Cookbook:Jelly|jellies]], and [[Cookbook:Pudding|puddings]]. Since quince is very aromatic, it can be added to apple jams to increase their flavor. It can also be skinned and [[Cookbook:Roasting|roasted]] or [[Cookbook:Poaching|poached]] in [[Cookbook:Wine|wine]] and made into a [[Cookbook:Cobbler|cobbler]] or [[Cookbook:Tart|tart]].
