Baked quinces are a great fall dessert. Quince is like an apple or pear, with a little more tartness. The quince is not a very popular fruit in the West, but can be found in many supermarkets. While some may be more familiar with membrillo or quince paste, the fruit itself is wonderful, but can be sometimes overwhelmingly tart when eaten raw. It also tends to be very hard and can be acrid in its raw form. However, when cooked, it transforms and becomes a tender, delicious fruit that is wholly unique in flavor and texture. It blends beautifully with apple and pear, its super fragrant, and is naturally high in pectin. It's also delicious with vanilla or warming spices. While it's certainly not the most ubiquitous fruit, there is now no better time than now to acquaint yourself with the lovely fruit.

Quince is also fantastic when eaten in savory contexts, but in this case, it becomes a delectable dessert that can be enjoyed in myriad of ways.
