Quince, a fruit native to the Mediterranean, cherished by the ancient Greeks and Romans, continues to be enjoyed by many cultures worldwide. Though challenging to prepare due to the need for poaching or cooking before use, quince paste offers a delightful accompaniment to cheese and crackers. It also makes a delicious alternative to jam for breakfast. Beyond these uses, quince paste is perfect as a filling in baked goods or swirled into meat sauces, adding an exotic fruit flavor that pairs wonderfully with roast pork.
