About Quinces, raw
The quince is an old-fashioned fruit that looks like a knobbly cross between an apple and a pear and fills a room with a heady, floral perfume as it ripens. Raw it is almost inedible — hard, dry and astringent — so it is one of the few fruits that genuinely has to be cooked to be enjoyed.
It is modest at around 57 calories per 100 grams, supplying fiber (it is especially rich in pectin), vitamin C, potassium and copper. Long, slow cooking transforms it completely: the pale flesh turns tender, sweet and a beautiful deep rose-pink, and the pectin sets readily.
That gelling power makes quince the classic fruit for jellies, pastes and preserves — the Spanish membrillo served with cheese is the most famous example — as well as a fragrant addition to slow-cooked tagines and roasts.
