Quinces are the last fruit to ripen in the kitchen garden. My top 3 things to do with them -
1. Membrillo
2. Quince vodka
3. Freeze cooked quarters to turn into crumble and tarts or add to stews during the winter.
Top tip - core and peel once you have boiled them, and they're soft.
But as with all fruit it has been a bumper year and we have more than we need. Message us if you'd like to come and pick your own.
