Heres a couple recipes that sounded good from the following website: Quince Recipes


Quince Vodka

From: "Bill Bankes-Jones"

I'm going through a bit of a quince phase at the moment, & thought I'd pass on some recipes:

wash & rub off the fluff, then grate 2 entire ripe quinces, into a 1 litre jar. [Well worth dirtying the food processor for this.] Add 2 oz sugar, then cover completely with Vodka (or gin or brandy) and seal. Put in a dark cupboard for at least 2 months, shaking every now and again. Then strain, taste, consider, and add sugar if you like, bottle, & enjoy. (from Jane Grigson's book of fruit - full of other quince recipes.)

Quince stew

Fry 2 large onions. Add 2lb shoulder of lamb, beef or veal, cut into 1 inch cubes, brown the meat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg, salt & pepper to taste. Cover with water and simmer for 1 hour. Then Add 2 ripe quinces, peeled, cored & cut into similar chunks, plus 4oz soaked yellow split peas. Simmer for 15 minutes, then add 4 tablespoons lemon juice and 1-2 tablespoons suger. Simmer a further 15 minutes or until ready. I think the genius of this is how the quinces & meat react with the very considerable quantity of cinnamon. Yummy with Rice. (From Claudia Roden's book of Jewish food, which like her book of middle-eastern food has plenty more Quince recipes.)
