This has been flowering on and off for months, so many blooms this year, so lots of quince jelly, all being well!!

Does the fruit taste ver similar to a 'real' Quince do you think? I have used one in an apple crumble..a Japanese one..and it did taste quite similar I think. Hopefully I shall eventually be able to make both and compare!

It is a lovely warm colour. It's a lovely plant altogether, including the fruit! :)

We make jelly, and Membrillo which is delicious but a bit time consuming..
