[Sca-cooks] quince apple

[Tonya R Stinson]

 I don't think so...

Quince apple: The quince apple was originally discovered in Crete. It is well known both as a jam and a fruit distillate. It having very hard and dry pulp, the amount obtained from distillation is rather little, but quite intensive concerning its aroma.


Quince pear: Quince pear is chiefly grown in Portugal and the former Yugoslavia. It has got higher sugar content than that of the quince apple letting it be more suitable for distillation. It has also got a more intensive flavour than the quince apple.
