Quince......Chaenomeles (Chaenomeles speciosa (Flowering quince)Pink)

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!

I have no idea Karen, but we are still using the quince jelly which is delicious, it went in the dinner tonight!

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..
