7 quince recipes
Check out our best quince recipes for fruity puddings, autumnal bakes and sophisticated dinner party mains
Quinces look like a hybrid of an apple and a pear but are quite different. They are much firmer and heavier, and are bitter and astringent before cooking but turn pink when cooked, with a floral flavour.
We’ve got plenty of inspiration for cooking with quince, from fruity bakes including plums and honey to savoury quince-glazed meat for roast dinner ideas.
