Quince is one of those fruits that are not part of our everyday diet. However, quince paste is an age-old recipe, perfect for eating at any time of year and always having in the fridge. As a dessert, a side or a main ingredient… if one thing defines this time-honoured food, it is its versatility.

It is a preserve made from quince pulp and sugar. It is firm, so it can be cut with a knife and eaten in thin slices, on its own or with something else.
