The quince is tasty
very aromatic but does not taste very well if you eat it raw. The quince
contain a lot of pectin and are therefore very suitable to prepare
jams and marmalade. The word
is actually derived from the Portuguese word for quince, "marmelo".
The fruit has been used for many centuries, the Romans would prepare
it with honey. In the Oriental cuisine,
the quince is also used in savoury dishes.
