Never thought of making it though...thanks for the recipe link! :-)<BR/><BR/>Georgia, one of the things that I've read is that the fruit from the Japanese quince is better after frost and subsequent softening, if you're going to try to do something with that fruit...Melissa Bach Palladinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03022691694124423609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272633184561276044.post-57449841705599645482008-10-31T13:11:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:11:00.000-04:00Hi Melissa!

We found this recipe online for something called Membrillo, which is basically quince paste. We made the paste (very simple) and tried it with crackers & manchego cheese. It was really amazing and delicious! Try this as an appetizer. The kids even liked it just as a little "quince jam" on their crackers. <BR/>http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/006144membrillo_quince_paste.phpGiselle C.
