Amazing Quince Fruit Recipes You Should Try this Fall

When it comes to cooking fruits, there are some common examples that pop up. Apples, pears and berries to name a few. However, quince fruit recipes are far less common especially in North America.

Rarely do we see fresh quince and few people even know how to prepare or eat a quince. But they’re missing out! Quince are very versatile and a unique addition to both sweet and savory dishes.

The quince is a cousin of the apple and pear, which makes sense as it resembles both fruits. It is a hard fruit that grows in all regions of the world but is especially popular in South America, Mediterranean countries and the Middle East.

What is Quince?

Eaten raw quince is bitter and difficult to even bite. However once cooked it tastes like a mix between a pear and an apple. It can have a slightly mealy texture and usually sugar is added to enhance the natural flavors.

What does quince taste like?

You can eat a quince raw but you probably don’t want to. It has a very tart flavor and in many cases may be too hard to chew. No harm will come to you if you decide to eat it – I just wouldn’t suggest it.
