Pare Fast-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

For the receipt (recipe) White Marmalade, the first step is pare and core the Quinces as fast as you can...being cut in Pieces less than half Quarters.  The quince is a fruit that when the flesh is exposed to air turns brown very quickly but is not as easy as an apple to pare and cut.
