I have a quince tree in the garden that my mother bought me 20 years ago It holds a very special place in my heart as it was the last thing she gave me before she died. If you have never tasted a quince it is a fruit that has to be cooked and tastes like a cross between the best apple and the best pear you can imagine. Maybe the most popular and famous recipe that quince is used for is membrillo – the Spanish quince paste that is frequently eaten alongside manchego cheese.
