Good news indeed. And considering the next message (and the size of
the fruit), I think I know what I have now, and that it *is* edible.

I only get a dozen or two quinces (assuming I see them before they
fall and rot; I have no idea when to pick them), so I may try the apple
pie route first (I know my apples are edible :-) and save the attempt at
preserves for next year. Or maybe I'll get adventurous and try one of
the other quince recipes and just make a very small batch of whatever.
