No gain without pain!
Well I finally got round to gathering my quinces! Problem is, I fell out of the tree while gathering them and I am nursing a bruised and swollen arm!
Luckily I jumped up and no-one seemed to be watching me so only my arm was hurt and not my pride! 
Managed to get a few recipes from a website thanks to palustris!
Don't know which I'll try yet ...maybe all!
Still got one arm left to stir with anyway! LOL
