Heart to Hearth Cookery

Quince and Quince Cakes

On the same tazza with the dried pears, shining like jewels for the banquetting (or dessert) table, are quince cakes.  In the back of the picture, between the two tazzas, is a quince.  Quince, that many identify as similar in appearance to a pear or a Yellow Delicious Apple, are not pleasant to eat raw like a pear or apple.  The quince are high in acid and pectin and require some heat treatment to be made palatable.

My next scheduled classes are a chocolate workshop in February and a hearth cooking class in March.  Visit my website for more information:   www.hearttohearthcookery.com
