My Paternal Grandparents had a tree in their house, I can't remember the details, I remember though the work that my Grandmother would put into making her Quince Jelly.
It was to be used like a jam, but it was beautiful and clear and sweet like a jelly, and it had such a unique taste to it.
None of the ones I've bought as an adult are the same as hers I had as a child, but that could also be distorted memories [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" title=";)" width="20" />
I am not surprised to learn about the marmalade cross-over as I can see/sense the similarities there and envision quince being included in a fresh marmalade. It also makes perfect sense given that most people of that time (my Grandparents) would also make marmalades as well as other preserves, so ... what a wonderful bit of quince trivia learnt today [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />
