"The quince has always had a special place among the fruits of
Europe. The ancient Greeks called it the 'golden apple', the Romans
the 'honey apple'. And it was most likely a quince, not an apple,
that Eve plucked from the tree in the Garden of Eden. This book
describes both the cultivation, the history and the cooking of
quinces. Useful sections set out how to choose the variety best
suited to your garden, to plant the trees and to maintain them in
good health; there is a sketch of the glorious history of the fruit
in cookery of past ages; there are some excellent recipes for
savoury dishes that depend on the quince for that special flavour,
and for all those sweet dishes that bring out the unique qualities
of the fruit. The authors ensure that the reader can keep their
harvest in the proper manner and they spend much time describing
those special quince confections such as quince preserve and quince
'cheese' (or membrillo as it is known to the Spanish). We tend to
forget that the first marmalades were made from quinces and that
before we had easy access to citrus fruit, the quince was perhaps
the most flavourful and aromatic product of the orchard known to
our forebears. Books about quince cookery are rare (and mostly out
of print). Yet people with a quince tree (or trees) in their garden
will often have more fruit than they can cope with in the small
number of recipes they have to hand.
