Rob,

Use recipes that call for apples, where the apples are to be cooked.  The quince make great apple-type desserts. You may have to adjust cooking times.  If you are hesitant, mix them half-half with apples and proceed as normal.  The ones I tried last fall (harvested from a tree in Augusta, GA) oxidized fairly quickly when cut, so maybe a dilute lemon-juice dip would have helped.  Cornell suggests that 6000 mg vitamin c, crushed and mixed into 1 quart water, makes a good pre-treatment.

Subject: [NAFEX] Chinise quince

 

Hey all,

I have stumbled on a Chinese quince tree (Pseudocydonia) loaded with fruit. I of course grabed as many as I could. Now I am wondering what I should do with them. My internet search has not come up with much. Does anyone have recipe for these large tree rocks?

Robert
