Quince it to me!

Marianne and Andrew (Our adopted Italian aunt and uncle) gave me a bag of quinces and an axe yesterday,  and here’s what I did:

1. Chopped with the axe

2. Then I chopped smaller

3.Then I cute out the woody core

4.  Then I peeled off the nappy peel

5. Then I stewed with enough water to cover, 3/4 c sugar, and about 2 T. honey.  Stewed until soft and much of the water boiled off.  Then mashed with a potato masher. Quinces are quite tart, so of course we will eat with vanilla gelato.
