Quince
A fragrant autumn fruit, to be cooked to reveal its sweetness and pinkish colour.
The quince is a large golden-yellow, downy fruit, with hard, acidic, astringent flesh when raw. Cooking transforms it: the flesh softens, turns orange-pink and releases an intense floral fragrance. Very rich in pectin, it lends itself to jellies, fruit pastes and compotes. Its season runs from autumn to early winter.
