[Sca-cooks] When to Pick Quince?

[Peldyn at aol.com]

I live about 20 miles from a grove of quince trees. A small private museum 
planted them years ago to see if they would grow in the area. I know the people 
who run it and they do nothing with the fruit. I want to go and pick it when 
it is ripe, but when is that??? I am in the Mojave Desert, if that affects 
ripening time. My pomegranates are never ripe until the end of Oct, beginning of 
Nov.
Visions of quince jelly and quince tarts dance through my head!
