Nettle and Quince

The sky was bright blue this morning, trees a deep yellow, there’s an assertive chill in the air. Before the long winter of apples creeps up on us, there is still quince (and also, it is true, some rather delicious pears). So, for those with an over-productive (redundancy) quince tree, or others, like me, who binge-buy quince as soon as they hit the stalls, here are a few recipes and ideas of what to do with all the quince. Some for right now, others for later — preserves to battle the February doldrums.

For now

•  Spicy lamb and quince stew
• Quince and apple tarte

For later

• Quinces poached with honey and bay
• Quince jelly
• Quince paste (membrillo)

For a gift

•  Quince fruit pastes
