Quince: Tart and fragrant fruit, often used for jams and jellies due to its high pectin content. Though edible raw, quinces are quite firm and astringent when uncooked. Cooked quinces soften and develop a beautiful rose or red color, with a complex flavor profile that combines sweet, tart, and floral notes. This under-appreciated fruit offers a unique culinary experience and can be enjoyed in various ways beyond jams and jellies (see description above for ideas).
