I have often wondered about this fruit. Here are some suggestions....
"You might mistake them for large misshapen apples at your farmers' market. But quinces have their own appeal. They give off a wonderful fragrance, whic is why they're often placed in drawers as a natural air freshener. It's difficult to eat them raw -- they're rock hard and very puckery, even when fully ripe -- but tender and tropical-tasting when cooked.
* Poach them in sugar syrup spiced with cinnamon and cloves, to serve alongside rich meat and game dishes.
* Add thin slices to your next apple pie for a rosy color.
* Cook them with sugar to taste, puree, and serve with potatoe pancakes.
* Make a relish: Grate raw quince, sprinkle with salt, and set aside for a few hours. Rinse under cold water, drain, and dry, then add chopped garlic, a minced hot green chile, sugar and lemon juice. Cover and chill."
Do you have any other ideas/suggestions???? |
