Just got back from my son’s new house outside Cambridge laden down with huge quinces from their big old tree. I’ve made the quince jelly, membrillo and jam. Next up is the chutney, and lasstly, I found a great recipe for quince vodka, so hopefully lots of cheer at New Year !!!!

Just to say that the UK’s National Collection of quinces is held at Norton Priory, Warrington, in the north of England. They have a Quince and Apple Day each October where large quantities of quince fruit (lots of ‘Vranja’ and ‘Portuguese’ this year) and all sorts of apples can be bought. Knowledgeable experts are on hand too, to answer questions about choosing the right varieties if you want to grow them yourself. I drive home with the car windows open, the fragrance is so strong…
